[yfzrider45]

:( After starting it yesterday after 3 weeks, then starting n riding it today for about 30 minutes there was oil all over the top of my oil tank....its on the bottom of my fan also.....There is a penny sized hole near the rite above the header n i know for a fact its coming from there....Its a hole that is supposed to be there ! but idk if its supposed to be wide open like that....Lemme know what you guys think, and is it supposed to be open???? It's def. a problem but idk what to do:confused: PLEASE HELP GUYS!!!

thanks

can you post a pic?

no, i dont imagine there should be a hole in your oil tank... and if oil is getting out and getting all over your bike, than there is certainly something wrong with it...

i wouldnt continue riding it as it is...

it would be great if you could post a pic but what i think it is if its what i am thinking of is there is a plug on your head and sometimes it will blow out its kinda weird

[jim_beam_racer]

what i think it is is there is a plug on your head that like will blow out sometimes but it is very rare but it would be great if you could post a pic

[yfzrider45]

I dont have my camera nemore..............but it looks like it SHOULD be plugged up....While its runing n if i put my finger on it feels just like the exhuast basically......DO i need a plug??? cuz i dont think it should be open like that....i wish i could take a pic lol

ya you blew out your plug but theres a way to keep that from happening if you get that plug put it in doesnt half to be aftermarket and theres a bolt you could take out put an L bracket there so that bolt tightens it down and that bracket is making it so that plug cant go out

[yfzrider45]

Alright, i'll def. do the L thing if u can get some pics.........thanks for the help!!!! i really appreciate it guys!!!

O and where do i get the plug....i want an aftermarket one too :macho thanks

It's called a decompression plug. They put rubber ones in their and over time they blow out. On the 05's and up they put a solid cast in there and got rid of the plug. If you get the aluminum one you won't have to worry about it blowing out again. Here's a list of them http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&dfsp=1&from=R10&_trksid=m37&satitle=yfz450+decompression+plug&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1&fsoo=1
