oil level window replaceable?

Sat May 21, 2005 3:41 pm

while my bike was sliding down the road, the rear brake lever has been pushed into the oil level window and cracked it, it seems pretty flimsy. I can't see it lasting without being replaced.

Is this a replaceable item or what ?

Thanks ian, it's a 2001 or 2002

Looks like to change it you have to take the cover off the sump (or whatever it's covering).

It probably would be, maybe with the use of some oil/fuel resistant epoxy...

yeah Nikos
the clutch cover has to come off to the replace (the GPx) one
so i guess the zzr is the same

cheers

Looking at jess's u would have to take the cover off...

Then again its a 250, most people dont even put oil in them, except the used stuff out of the car :)

Good to see you're back on your feet already thinking about fixing the fker


Need any help let me know, ill try and get my hands on this manual next week and scan it up

Is there much behind the clutch cover? other than oil ... ie is it a pain in the arse take off? or just a case of draining the oil and taking it off...
Just asking cos i dont have the manual yet and all i can think about is fixing me bike :)

Duane ... you da man, if you can't be fucked scanning it, I'm happy to pick it up and do the scanning then i'll return it in similar condition ;)

Nikos, I replaced the oil window on Cath's old ZZR after a minor driveway incident. From memory I dropped the oil, unhooked the clutch cable and removed about 6 bolts. The whole operation took about 20 mins and I didn't need to replace the clutch-cover gasket (I think I still have one in the shed actually)
