Bad oil leak on left side
EddieCap84:
Recently purchased bike and it's been perfect. Today for the first time I did some hard acceleration on the highway and took an off ramp, when I stopped at the red light a plume of smoke surrounded me briefly so I looked around and the lower left side of the bike was covered in oil including my foot. It still ran and operated perfectly on the short ride home after. I had somewhere to be so I frustratingly parked it in the garage and left it. I did do some quick looking around and can't tell where it's coming from. Any ideas on the matter guys?
Freddy:
You will have to find it yourself after cleaning. Sounds like that will be easy to pin point,

Hello
Plastic covers and hoof must already be removed.
EddieCap84:
Could this be it? What is it btw and how do I fix it
Boomer:
Yup, the camchain tensioner has blown it's bolt out. Plenty of oil comes out of there.
Replace the tensioner with a cheap manual tensioner from Amazon or Ebay for about $50.
