Its been pissing it down all week here so my bike was locked away, opened the shed this afternoon and there's a small pool of oil underneath. Seems to be coming from the front of the engine right side! Any thoughts? |

Not coming from some sort of breather hose is it .. ? Maybe the clutch cover is leaking, tis a known fault that should have a recall to fix it .. |

Looking at it closely it seems to be a vertically split crankcase and could be a gasket leak its right over the top of the exhaust and obscured from view...somebody please tell me this isn't another 1125 ailment! |

It's the first time I've heard of an oil leak on the 1125 models. Are you sure that it's oil ? Make sure that it's not coolant - some have commented on a leak from the witness hole in the water pump, that is behind the header pipe on the right hand side of the engine. |

I know the clutch issues its for sure not that and definately oil. It must be coming from the gasket, I have realised that as the bike has not been rolling since I last wiped it clean. Have a look chaps and be wary of this! |

Hot country, ridden hard. Do they specify any different oil or larger oil cooler for your country? |

This is a first occurance for this hot country and has happened during the cool period if temp was a factor I'm sure it would have occured earlier. Judging by this forum it is also a first mention in UK also...keep your eyes open 1125 owners

Try nipping up the bolts, and have a good look for hairline fractures, I remember reading of a casing cracking on badweb !! Keep us updated on this please. |

Is the oil level set correctly on the bike? It's critical to set vertical and level. Or has the bike found its own level now? |

Adam I hear what you are saying about the oil level and its never been topped up since last change...which I did cos I wouldn't trust my local dealer. Nipped the bolts up and monitoring it. I don't suppose the gasket is available from anyone on here is it? |

Tubbs thankyou for the constructive aspects of your posting and all I can assume is it leaked on cooling down so all you winter buellers wrap up well!
