Oil Leak/ Gasket

[Vansky]

I noticed an oil leak today while my bike was parked so i checked it out. Turned the bike on in neutral and gave it same gas....I noticed a very small leak coming from two areas (please look at picture attached) Does anyone know the part number for the gasket on the right side of the engine case? Also has anyone had similar experiences/what you did to fix it?

That is the clutch cover gasket.Part #11482-38312.A easy fix.The hardest part is removing the old gasket from the cover.Just be careful not to gouge the the surface with anything sharp.I used a Dremel tool with a small sanding drum,to remove the old gasket.

if your limited on tools, goo gone and a sponge work to, after you get most of the gasket off but you gotta use some elbow grease.

Thank you for all your help!!

Have either if you replaced the magneto gasket? And is it fairly painless as well? I figured both are 12 years old and should replace both while I'm at it.

Yes, it is pretty straight forward also.The cover is a little more difficult to remove because you need to over come the magnetic pull of the fly wheel,without prying or gouging the gasket surfaces.If it's not leaking,I wouldn't disturb it,as it don't get the abuse the clutch side gets.

Like I once told a friend. " If it ain't broke don't fix it. " He fixed it, it broke.

I'm having a hell of a time getting this caked gasket off...But once it's all cleaned and im ready to put the new gasket on is there anything that needs to be applied around the gasket prior to bolting the cover back on?
