Well that's your water pump so it could be the shaft the drive the pump leaking or coming from the stator which is above and left of the water pump... Are you sure its oil? that area gets a lot of chain lube build up and could be getting hot and dripping down like oil

[MaTTMaN]

idk want to come taste it!? lol. ill check right meow!

[MaTTMaN]

id bring it to your house and see what you think but........i cant really ride it on the streets.

[Libretto]

haha yea I can see that lol... at some point I will get out there and help you with it

[MaTTMaN]

let me know man! i can stop by you house on my way home from work to get your ass off the couch! lol just lmk!

[MisterH112]

I had a shit ton of lube in that area.. it really could be the chain lube/wax..

Mattman - did you give the bike an oil change? Can you check the level of oil?

the level of oil is fine! i havent ridin it enough to see if the oil has dissipated at all.


my first thought when i picked up the bike was the oil pan gasket. then over filled oil, and now.....no idea unless its the shaft seal.....

[Wheeliest]

if that bike ever lost a chain could be shifter seal... could possibly be the water pump o-ring seal also.

[Wheeliest]

buy chain cleaner from cycle gear or some where and clean the fuck out of that area, do a lap or two arround your block and look for fresh oil you lazy fucker.

hahaha thats what i did....now im trying to trace it! im pretty sure its coming from behind my water pump. was just looking for pointers on what it could be behind the water pump.

and no its never lost a chain...

[Wheeliest]

yeah well water pump o-rings are cake to change.. i believe there should only be two bolts holding it in to the motor and it should slide out.. you just gotta drain your rad and disconnect all the hose's


make sure when replacing the o-ring you oil the o-ring and clean the cylinder it slides into.. it will pinch and bind up easy and leak again.

damn its a ten dollar o-ring to haha

[MaTTMaN]

is there a way i can tell its that? can i expect to see damage to it? thanks btw!

[Wheeliest]

possibly be rotted. that bike sat for awhile right? sometimes you cant see problems, half the fork seals i have ever changed i was the only one that could tell the damaged one out of the pair and no one else.. which is a bit different from the water pump o-ring but yeah, oil is micro you know. i suggest running semi synthetic and seeing if it still leaks.. but oil changes are a bit more expensive then the o ring.

[MaTTMaN]

he ram motul so idk! and it hasnt sat for that long......oil leaked from pretty much day one he got it!

[MaTTMaN]

so if im looking at this right!!!!

look like the large oring from the in between the pump and block is missing! let me know what you guys think!

[MisterH112]

Yes, it needs to be on!lol - it engages the start. in order to start a gixxer you have to pull the clutch in.

there is a way to bypass it, but i have no idea how to.

[MaTTMaN]

well i read into it and bypassing it pretty much fucks your hp.
so it stays on! lol

[craqhead]

Guaranteed the first few times you start it, it will be in gear and lurch out from underneath ya!
As long as it works..just leave it...

[MaTTMaN]

yeah i just dont like the switch assembly

[Wheeliest]

yeah adams gsxr 6 we bypassed it, his bike was fast still.. almost as fast as mine..
