Oil coming out of starter!

[joe215]

Has anyone had a problem with oil leaking out of the starter? not sure if it's primary oil or something else. Just changed all fluids and this oil is black that is coming from the starter. I thought it was a loose oil line connector but didn't appear to be. It's not alot of oil, but a few drops and seems to spit out alittle when I start the bike up. Thanks.

Check the o ring and do a search on this site for modification if needed.

Yes I had this problem for several years now. Three starters and couple of mods and still got the problem. Starter jackshaft seal & poor primary venting.

This is what I did about 15,000 miles ago, no problems since.

I had the same problem after my ridgeback was serviced.
Come to find out they over filled the primary.
