Oil leak

08 Sep 2016 12:31

I've developed this oil leak on my Kawasaki KZ1000P that seems to be getting worse. It's coming from under that cracked rubber boot. Could someone tell me how to fix this? Thank you.

The oil pressure switch is under that cover. Check the appropriate parts fishe for your bike and look it up. Attached is a link to the '84 fishe but your bike may be different.

Agreed, and a simple fix.

Take the O ring out and get a new one at any AP store. I'd replace the other two as well.
