Hi Guys,
I have a 2003 955i Speed Triple. After a ride today I noticed that there was some oil seepage coming from the bottom of the clutch outer cover more accurately between the cover and the wide rubber gasket thats next to it, (this cover has the three hex bolts) right hand side of the bike.
Its not alot of oil (more like a streak really) and I was wondering if it would be ok to loosen the hex bolts and retorque them to 9nm (is there a special torque sequence?) or is it usually necessary to remove the cover and replace the rubber gasket?. Also can I remove this cover without loosing a heap of oil? I,m not sure if it contains oil anyway being the outer Clutch cover?
Just to make things interesting I have replaced the clutch cable recently and did give it a lube prior to install. There is some of this lubricant leaking out the end of the clutch cable onto the bracket that holds it on the actuator arm however the area below around the clutch actuator is bone dry so I dont see how it would travel all the way down the bottom of the clutch cover without leaving some evidence.
I would really appreciate any advice
Regards
