first of all hey people im new so hi to all!!!!!


My problem is i got a kawasaki zzr 250, ive replaced the oil filter 'O' ring and the sump gasket but i still got a bad oil leak especially at high revs for a long period of time (10,000) for about 10 miles it seems to spray it all up the side of the bike and mainly its on the top of the engine, under the seat, i dont know weather this is due to the fact of ive put too much oil in it, also how can i check the oil level as there is no dipstick and no sight glass,

any help would be appreciated as i can't find a workshop manual for this bike

have your checked the clutch cover old kawasaki are know for leaking clutch covers, l had a very similar problem but it was that the bottom high point of my fuel tank was leaking where it had rusted through and was slowly spraying up the side of the seat and bike, when it drayed it looked like oil and l thought the same, the oil level is a sight glass at the bottom of the clutch cover (right hand side, very low down) and the oil should be filled 3/4 of the way or at lest between the two marks.

If you can see grey metal through the glass with no level of oil, get some oil in there fucking fast, beacuse it may of all pissed out.

Sounds like the breather pipe from the cam cover to the airbox is missing, but as said start out by making sure there's oil in the engine, clean everything down and then monitor it's usage
