Leaking from cluth pedal?
18 Aug 2008 17:49
Hey guys I just got a 1981 KZ305 and everything has been going great with it but I noticed it is leaking right where the clutch pedal is connected to the engine. Does anyone know what I can/need to do to stop this? Thanks

Clutch pedal? Do you mean the shifter or maybe the clutch release mechanism? Ed

Have you just recently lubed the chain?

Sorry for the delay. It's real common for a newly juicy chain to fling the lube off around the front sprocket. It would look just like the leak you're describing.

No problem Takuma,
I have an Indian with a clutch pedal. I knew what you meant. Like I said I only learned it by running a chain that I had over oiled and run before the excess could drip off.
It can make quite a mess can't it?
