+1 with what Nolan said in the last line... What is the reading in the oil site glass.... If its low, you have a problem, if its mid to upper, you MAY have a problem and it may just be as loose cap or bad gasket seal etc... If you really really want to go riding.. (I WOULD WANT TO...), take off the plate and see if you can locate the source.. that will give you a pretty good idea as to whether it is something you can tighten/re-apply or if it needs more help... (like oil coming out of the crankcase seam gasket....) Do a bit of trouble shooting first, and see if you can ID the issue would be my recommendation...

 

Hey All,

Thank you so much for the replies, I spoke to dealer this morning he asked how much oil leaking etc, I told him, he said check the oil level etc and if o.k I can still go riding, checked the oil level still saying full ie window is full. So I go riding whoo hoo..... Awesome, did about 15mins came in checked oil leak, there was some oil there, checked level still says full kept riding rest of day, kept checking oil level all O.K, still oil coming from somewhere. Pull up to have a rest and there is a Kawasaki mechanic sitting there want's to check out my bike no worries, tell him about the oil leak, reckons it's coming from the front sproket seal looked at the amount of oil and says won;t be a problem but get it back to dealer before next ride to have the seals checked. Get home check under bike seems to be a fair amount of oil there but oil level still reads full?????. So I guess I will take back to dealer and have checked see if they can findthe source... I have been over all bolts, they are all tight so where it is coming from I have no Idea, cannot find a definitave source. Will let you know what happens at dealer.

Cheers
Chris.

 

Good luck, a little oil can look like alot leaking on a motor... but dont forget the motor doesnt hold that much oil to begin with.... sounds like you got a leaky motor.... sucks....good luck.
