    Alright guys, iv been doing a bit of work on my vxr 200, changing wish bone. And when I was underneath the bike I noticed a load off black shit under neath the lump, ocd kicked in and I clean it all, I went back a few days later to find the same, oil and dirt so I clean it up again and hadn't ride it since I went back today to check it and it had oil on it again clean oil, iv managed to sum it up to leaking from the sump plug I believe that's where it's coming from, underneath the oil filter the biggest nut, not sure what the little nuts are for but I'm 90% sure it's coming from the sump plug nut, wondering weather these have gaskets ?? Or maybe it just lose I don't want to over tighten it and end up cracking the casing.. So thought I'd ask on here first for people advice.. Thanks guys

    yeah, will be either a fibre washer or a soft metal (copper/alloy) one. easy enough to change at your next oil change
