Completed the timing belt change late last year (winter) and this weekend I pulled the belly pan to change the oil and found the front of the engine covered in oil. First thought I had a loose drain plug so cleaned up the bike changed the oil and took for a ride.
When I got back had some oil back in the belly pan so as I looked it looks like the clutch cover is leaking. I did not remove it to do the timing belt so was surprised but with 100,000 maybe I moved it around trying to get the timing cover back in place. Leak looks like it is coming from the top of the cover around where the timing belt slips behind the clutch cover.
So tonight I am going to pull the cover, I went to look for torque specs but there are none in the books. Put a wrench on the bolts and they moved but do not want to tighten too much. Bolts look to be 6mm with 10mm heads but I can not find the spec.
Planning on pulling the cover tonight and seeing if I can identify the leak and order the necessary gaskets but want to have the torque spec at hand before putting back together.
Thanks
