Wet or Dry?
Just wondering what's behind the cover indicated? I'm hoping it's dry i.e No Oil, then I don't need an engine cover, I've got away with not having one so far but if I know for sure I don't need one I'll be happier

Re: Wet or Dry?
It is dry under this cover . It covers the Ignition timing sensor.

Re: Wet or Dry?
Not sure about your model, but this is usually the iginition rotor cover - bottom of cam chain.
This holds oil on my zx10r and on my zxr750r and a cover was required...

Re: Wet or Dry?
Hmmm. well it's due for an Oil change, maybe I'll just whip that cover off once I've drained the Oil and solve this once and for all! I was worried it was a stupid question when I posted it but it certainly doesn't seem to be common knowledge.

Re: Wet or Dry?
one way to find out, start the bike, have it running and loosen the bolts in the cap. will seen tell you in anything is behind it.

Re: Wet or Dry?
Paul I think the biggest problem is when the scrutes pull you up & ask where the cover is, you then have to prove there is no fluids behind ......
Take a photo with the cover removed & keep it for just such an occasion
.... thats if it is dry of course.

Madkaw, I think the cam chain is in the middle on the 600.
