leak

I see a slight oil leak. If you look at the oil cap just above it there is a bolt with a washer, it's around that. Started noticing it after I switched to Rotella oil. I know I got to get this bike looked at, just wondering what everyone's thoughts were.

I just finished replacing the tranny on an 85 vmax, which resolved the second gear problem, but I have an oil leak coming from the base of the clutch slave unit. I pulled it, found I had installed it without the larger oil seal over the clutch piston. Put it back together and the leak is even...

I've got gas leaking out of the hole shown in the picture when the bike is running. It seems like a stuck float, but I thought the hose out the side was for that? Mark...?

Hello I'm having problem's with my clutch leaking from where the handle bar lever were it pushes the piston in on the master cylinder . I've rebuilt the master cylinder, slave cylinder and bleed all the air out and the clutch works fine untill I go out for a ride and the motor warms up . Than...

I'm 99% sure it is seeping through the wire harness gromet as the new stator didn't have the wrap on the wires that the original did... Anyone else ever have this problem and, if so, what did you do to remedy it? DS

Howdy, My bike has a braided clutch cable, which works ok, except that it leaks at a fitting down by the left peg where it goes under the clutch cover. There is a solid tube that comes up out of the clutch hosing; this tube has a nut that fastens to the aftermarket clutch line. Fluid leaks...

I HAVE SEEN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ABOUT THE INTERNAL "O" RINGS BLOWING OUT THAT SUPPLY OIL TO PARTS OF THE ENGINE . WAS THAT EVER CORRECTED AT THE FACTORY , OR IS THAT SOMETHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH, ON MY 2006 ? :ummm:

I've read the oil leak thread and any other threads I could find but none seem to give me an answer....please advise. I've replaced the clutch rod seal thinking that was it since it's very close to the leaking area. That didn't work. First off-I degreased the area and when engine is running...

HI folks, in my everlasting quest for knowledge and vmax stuff, I'm stil working on my vmax troubleshooting. with the horrible gas mileage i have, I'm still looking here, and looking there. we all know the famous starting procedure where the fuel pump relay clicks or clucks itself up...

well, not a good way to FIND it, but I was reading on another forum that if you cover the throat of the carb and she dies.... no leak. if it continues to run - you've got a leak. makes sense and saves me at least a little trouble spraying my bike with flammables. I hear soap works too...

I have a 1986 with 18K on it. The seller said the clutch had a slow leak so I have been keeping an eye on it. I ride approximately 50miles a day for commuting. I have noticed that when releasing the lever in 1st gear there is an occasional clunk, like when you drop it into gear. The fluid level...

i've noticed over the last day or two that i have an oil leak on the left side, especially when on the side stand (that makes sense) i appears to be the "crankcase cover, left" seeping at the bottom. my question is, could it be something else that i'm missing since i'm a newb? share your...

Stator cover(left side engine cover) gets covered in oil on the outside center section when running the bike. Is it possible that oil is coming through the threads of those two flat head chrome screws with the hex in the center? Mike Costa VMOA #3531:surprise:

Do not buy Never Leak Fork seals!They will leak!Its better to buy stock ones yamaha.

Anyone reading the forums lately know of the troubles I have been having, charging, carbs, ignition :damn angry: I think I bought a money pit :damn angry: I am ready part this thing out! I had been having carb problems and adjusting, cleaning etc. I finally got a break in the weather on...

i have a 1989 vmax with a clutch leak, i think. the leak isn't coming from the master cylinder but from the connection below, i think. is it a simple fix? i tried to loosen the nut for the end connection, but there's no room to turn a wrench. i tried to take, what looks like the cover off the...

I have a 05 with 2100 miles and it appears the the water pump is leaking. I have a little coolant coming out of the hole on the bottom of the pump. It is out of warranty. I hear this is a common problem. What do I need to fix the leak? Where can I find directions to do it? How long will it take...
