Yamaha V Star 650 Common Oil Leak Fix | Motorcycle Cruiser 

Had to clean like crazy to get to it but u just made my day, thats definitely where shes leaking from.

Damn! That's exactly my problem. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

I just bought a v star with the same issue appreciate the information 👍

Excellent video. You just gave me some confidence as to what the issue with mine is . It behaves in exactly the same manner. Thanks Man!

Thanks for the great video. Just changed my neutral switch and the oring. It turned out that the cap didn't crack and it's the oring being worn out and caused leak. No leak observed so far!

I thought I had a cracked sump found the issue cheers dude

Mate, this is a excellent explanation, thanks! This is exactly my problem 🤘

thanks just noticed a few drops under my v star yesterday

Same problem! For now...tilted the moto upright during garage parking on a stool and the leak stopped. Thank you soon much. We will do when time permits on my Vstar

Thank you!!

thank you

question. do you know anything about the oil gauge assembly on the right side bottom under that removable cap? Mine seems saturated and after a ride it seems when I park it, a little comes out but not much. so its not a steady leak. I can post pics of you need me to

My 650 is leaking too (around the kick stand). A wide shot would have been nice to get an idea of the general area that you were working on.

This is the VERY BEST video of this problem. Thanks for the upload and I am about to fix mine. Even at the factory they screw these things up too tight. Motorcycle Cruiser video maker do you know about the splines at the differential. They come lubed from the factory and people seem to think that this will last forever, BUT it does NOT. Mine had gone dry at 25,000 miles and a lot of damage would have been done by 30,000 miles. These splines need grease and it is an easy 20 minute job to do when you are changing to a new rear tyre. I have put a link up showing how to grease these splines. The V Star 650 AND the 1100 both have these splines that need greasing. All purpose grease is fine if you do the greasing every time that you change a rear tyre. This is a real trap and I am telling as many 650 and 1100 riders that I can. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7JrYgSguOAY.html Catch you down the road, Aussie Bob.

Help me with name of this part or part number-i got same problem leak one drop a day(small)but makes me scare lol

What years is this more common on?

My 6:50 has an inner o-ring seal also. Not sure exactly what's going on there mechanically or how to change it. I'm just going to change the orange outer o-ring seal behind the plastic switch. Looks like there's an inner black o-ring behind that.? Idk.

Hi, wondering if i can get some help. At 2:40 what was the name of this part? engine case something? I've already replaced the neutral safety switch (which was cracked) thanks to this video, but i'm still experiencing leaking and pooling of oil at this location.

Do I need to drain the oil for this? I just changed it 😢

Sorry I’m kinda late, but what side of the bike it that?

I’m changing mine but can’t reinstall. Any tips / tricks? The tab is preventing the last screw from installing.

useing a slightly over size o ring, hope i dont crack it. does any one know the torque setting? i know its not very much inch lbs.

I replaced mine and now I have a big puddle under it. Didn't over tighten and didn't crack the new one...

What is that piece called ? i think i have the same problem, but i wanna know its name before i start demounting stuff

Very helpful but What is that part called ?

Do you have to drain oil before taking switch out?

👍👍👍

How much does one pay for someone to do this? I just do not have a work shop.. But if I can get a good normal price range on the work that has to be done, that would be great. 👍

Whats that part called.?

How many miles before this should accur
