Was going up a steep washout with a steep lip when I had a super slow roll over (straight back). Bent the stem slightly and messed up the handlebars, everything else is fine. I did notice this morning a tiny oil leak (looks like enine oil) uner the machine. Probably only a few drops and it seems to have come from around the PVT cover towards the engine? Any ideas? Is there an engine breather hose that the oil could have come from?

Also, I was quoted $93 for a new stem. Does that seem right / fair?

 

Theres 2 lines that go from the oil tank to the crankcase,check them.

Theres an oil breather hose that goes to the airbox.
Check the airbox.

Is the oil filter leaking?

Clean the bike,let dry,put over cardboard overnight.

Any time you turn one of these over oil will flow into the airbox from the vent.This could be what you see.Take off the lid and clean it out.You will probbly need a new filter if it is stock or clean it if you can.

 

Upon further investigation, it appears my oil leak is coming from the spedometer housing on the transmission. Why it is leaking after it flipped is a complete mystery to me at this point. I have to take the housing off to see why my spedometer is not working anyway, so I guess I can inspect the gasket at that point. Doe anyone know if I can get the spedometer housing off without pulling the transmission? There does not seem to be a lot of room to pull the housing off the transmission before it will hit the metal gaurd behind the inner PVT housing.
