Clean the trans and suspected leaking areas, let dry, then use a can of foot spray (white powder type) and spray the suspected areas. Don't worry, it will wash off. The foot spray will leave a white powdery film that will turn dark when oil hits it. I have read that some types of deodorant work for this as well. It's gotta be the powdery white film type.

Take the bike for a short ride and pull over frequently till you can establish where the leak is coming from. It really does work...YD

So I sprayed the trans with foot powder and it is def leaking out 2 sides of the top cover. I need to get in there and change that. Anyone know of an easy way to get the oil tank out. It doesn't say in the manual and last time I needed to do trans work I just shifted the tank.
