which gasket?
« on: August 05, 2008, 02:29:45 PM »
Hello I have recently discovered a leak and I don't know what gasket is leaking. It looks like its coming from the drive sprocket opening? what gasket would that be? hopefully I don't have to take out the engine to replace it. thanks for any help

pull the sprocket cover, it doesn't/ shouldn't hold oil and have a look. could be the sprocket shaft seal, or if it's a 750 you might have an auto chain oiler
