seems like there is a good amount of oil in the case that holds the flywheel, is this normal or is there a leak? And if so is this tough to fix?

EDIT: the case that I am talking about is the case where the end of the starter goes in! Is the gear in there the flywheel?

Edit: mass amounts of oil!

 

Far I know there should be no oil on the fly wheel at all. Which mean you got a leak somewhere.
So you need to take of the flywheel,stator and clean it up and you might able to see where the leak is coming from. That what I would do..... It not tough to do at all. Sound pretty simple enough.

Good luck

 

if this is a leak then it it a massive one I mean like all my oil I have the starter out as of now, and when I pull up on the back of the bike oil just pours out. Anyone else have anything to say about this?

 

You might have crack the case somehow of the way you are describing the sound of it. That would be the worst case bad new you will have on that bike.

 

it couold be the o-ring seal

 

nobody thinks this is normal to have oil flowing through here?

 

I think thats normal[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] mine had oil in there when I had my starter off, but I never tilted the quad around. I hope it's normal, I haven't had a porblem as of yet and put my new starter on 2 months ago and rode a lot,

yea I think so also, just had someone get me thinking that it was'nt anyone else would like to comment on this?

 

LoL i cant belive u guys ive had mine completely apart, it is perfectly normal it lubes the starter clutch and bearings around it, its got a giant slot in the case for the oil to come into that side. dont worry about its its perfectly normal.
