95' klr oil leak
Posted: Wed May 17, 2000 7:51 pm
Hey gang,
I'm rather new to the list, I've been reading posts for a couple of
weeks and have learned a bunch.
I've been riding bikes for the better part of my life, got my MC
endorsement when I was 15 and am now at the ripe old age of 39, boy does
time fly. Until recently I've been riding Connies and BMW K bikes but I
recently decided to go back to my roots and ride dual sport. Man am I
happy with the KLR, selling all 3 of the street bikes now and just
riding the KLR. Anyway, I'm hoping someone out there can answer a
question for me. I have a 95' KLR 650 that's sprung a leak.... It's not
a severe leak but an annoying one. I'm getting a constant drip/run of
oil from the oil filter/pump housing cover on the right side of the
bike. I've replaced the rubber O ring once and have even tried using a
silicon gasket sealer around the housing. Still leaks and I can't figure
out why. I checked for cracks and dings in the crank case housing and on
the cover it's self. Can't find any reason for the leak. It seems to
drip from the lip/nipple with the arrow on it. Anyone out there got any
ideas ?? Any and all info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Best Wishes,
Steve Rawls
