Crankcase oil leak - easy repair?
Chris400F:
If you haven't got a Parts List this place does them at a good price and quality is OK.

As far as I can remember that plug is only held in place by the fact that the stator cover is in place. Otherwise it is at liberty to fly out under oil pressure. As a nutter teenager I decided to start my bike like that once and it flew across the garage. Turned it off quick :-[

Hi all,
Yes, it was my parts catalogue (that I'd failed to check beforehand) that revealed the error of my ways, stimulated by Bitsa's comment.
Hey ho, onward, etc.
Cheers and thanks again all,
D.

Drew,
Just tap it back and put the cover back on as it holds it in place.
I found this out by accident, I had the great idea of starting the engine and cleaning the rotor with some light emery cloth.
I ended up with a very large pool of oil on the floor as the plug came out. ;D
