Search for "Clear clutch cover" and you'll get all the info you want.
Also search for "clutch cover leaks" to see what other people have done for the same problem.

Steve, my guess is that if you've tried al that lot then you might be overtightening the cover bolts 
It's a very low torque setting done in a set pattern............... other riders have had the same problem as you when they haven't followed the correct sequence.

IIRC I think the torquing for those bolts is just 8nm, meaning probably your cover is already warped, something you can't easily see with bare eye.
read this article http://www.tlzone.net/forums/frequen...-fix-them.html by one of our members here. Actually he's one of the guys that sell CCC (Clear Clutch Covers) by converting OEM covers to CCC.
The other guy is Vandriver who makes all billet alu CCCs
You can pick yours  |
