|  Oil leak - help Bought a '97 Kat 600 about a month ago. Rode yesterday afternoon, and while parking at the end of the ride, noticed ... hey, what's this? ... damn, it's oil.   No flames please ..... I know I should have looked before going for the ride. Anyway, there's still a decent oil level in the sightglass. Spent a while trying to figure out where it's coming from. Looks like the leak is somewhere on the left; drips down from the front plastic under the exhaust pipes. Was able to remove 6 of the 7 screws holding the left fairing in place, but don't have all the correct size allenheads, so couldn't remove the 7th. Have not bumped anything, so have no idea what caused the leak. Any ideas? Help. |

| At this stage only idea id for you to buy more allen wrenches to get fairing off.

| Left side huh? could be just an overgreased chain, collecting the lubricant around the front sprocket and then dripping out. One of my bikdes suffered a bent clutch pushrod, easily replaced along with the seal. left side could also behind the front sprocket. Yes you sure need some metric tools if you plan on riding a Jap bike. |
