oil leak onto tyre loos bolt

[raymondmccabe]

out for a ride on the G S stopped having a break and noticed damp spots on rear hugger .
on close inspection found a loos bolt between starter and engine cant tighten as starter has to come back from engine.
! not a lot of oil but going onto tyre .

1 Has any one else had this problem ?

2 Is it hard to get the starter off or back as taking to dealer is a pain

Thanks

I recall a thread a while ago with cam chains on the right side locking engines,
The bolt you describe had some relevance,
If its under warranty still i advise taking it to a dealer,,

OK so talked to dealer bike out of warranty but he did say they had dun several of these faults ????.
He talked it over with me what they do so fair play .
My son removed battery took 2 bolts out of starter turned it round got starter back far enough to get the bolt out( 50MM LONG) washed with thinners and lock tight on to threads build up so should be ok.
Thanks for reply's
