Oil leak?????
I have a slight oil leak that has been giving me fits. The best i have come up with is oil leaking back through the starter. Has anyone ever experienced this and if so how did u fix it?

Are you sure. What year and model bike? It is very unlikely that that is where it is leaking from unless your starter motor is loose where it bolts to. That assembly fits throughan ear where just the jackshaft sticks out into the primary and there is a seal it goes through.

I am seeing oil mainly on bottom of starter. I also see it all around the speedo sensor over time. I use brake cleaner and spray it all over areas to clean it really well. I also rinse it with water really well. After it's all clean I take it out for ride then check and it starts being wet first on the bottom of starter.
