What do the clutch pushrod o-rings seal on a wet clutch bike? Try to chase an oil seep, thought it was the o ring behind the clutch slave. Nope. Decided to throw on new o rings on the pushrod just for grins. Seems the left cover might be whats actually leaking. Do they use the same pushrod for dry clutches and wet clutches? Iam assuming the o rings would seal the rod from oil leaking on to the (dry) clutches.

The seal the oil in, from seeping out that port, right behind the clutch slave - same as on a dry clutch bike.
Not sure if they use the same push rod - when it comes to the length - but it will be the same diameter. The o-rings from one will fit the other.
Thanks for the reply. I ended up pulling the left cover, and resealing it. No more leaky.
For anyone curious, wet clutch and dry clutch push rods are different lengths.
Glad to hear you fixed your leak! [thumbsup]
