Got one of those vented clutch covers for my S2R 800 looks really cool but have now developed a major oil leak, any suggestions?

Can you tell us from where? In side the clutch housing, from the side case? Any photos?

That's normal when adding an open clutch cover on an s2r800.

Just run the engine at high rpm until it stops coming out. That should take care of it. [thumbsup]

I didn't have that problem with my M750CR... maybe I did something wrong. Huh...

the leak is normal, once it breaks in, you're shiny.

I had no issues running mine with the open cover. It added about 20 extra HP and I was able to run it at 160mph no problem. I passed Randall on his 620 with Paris riding pregnant dog.

I thought my S2R was one of those oilless bikes.

I know what you missed [bang]. Use the little rubber seal gasket from your standard clutch cover. Then it will have a tight seal. If not, apply caulk liberally and off you go! [moto]

any suggestions?

Take only left turns and always keep the bike leaned over to the left. You'll be fine.
