Does the left side case have a gasket? I should say is it supposed to have a gasket? Its a new bike to me, when sitting on the bike I look down and can see a gap on the outer cover. I can see clear through to the ground

 

Left side, you are talking about the circular panel with the Yamaha logo on it, correct? Just has a couple allen-head screws on it, if we are thinking of the same part. It does not have a gasket.

go find ur bike and look it up

 

If you have a gap that big and it's not leaking oil, then either you don't have any oil left or you don't need a gasket there. You have to be referring to the plastic end cover, it's not actually an engine case.

Thats what I was thinking. All it does is cover the end of the flywheel nut or whatever that thing is called.

 

yeah where the plug to check the timing is...

 

normal just a plastic cover to protect the flywheel nut
