Oil Leak

Vaulta · Jan 25, 2004

hey I have a KDX200 and after I started it and ran it in my garage, I came back to it and noticed a little oil on the ground. I looked under the bike and the bolt on the bottom end facing directly to the ground (I think, Iam new to dirt bikes) had a drip of oil on it. Is this cause for alarm.thanx for any help

Well more than likely your drain screw is just loose. And yes, any oil leak is a bad thing.

If you have not done so - it is a good time to change the tranny oil anyway. Change it and get everything sealed back up and see what you got. Make sure you torque that drain screw correctly (it is in your manual).

You may discover that it is stripped out (very possible). If that is the case you will just have to have it rethreaded and a different bolt put in - most shops do that for $20-40 US.
