Engine Casing Leaking

Post by voodoo-music »

Was out on my bike yesterdau for a fwe hours and noticed a burning oil smell. Looked around and i couldnt see anything wrong. I got off the bike and was talking to another guy about his bike and he pointed out there was a large scuff on the engine casing, i said i knoew about it but he said it looked like there was oil coming from the scuff

Sure enough there is, where can i get a right hand side engine casing to replace this

I agree. Thats the stuff I used on mine. It held for nearly a year till I decided to replace it with another clutch cover. I had a play with the fecked one when it came off and managed to stick weld a repair to it and buff it back with a grinder.
