I have a 2004 CBR1000RR. It has about 7000 miles on it and when it gets hot, it leaks a small amount of oil from the bottom of the engine. As it cools down, the leak goes away. I have changed the oil and filter and checked to make sure the oil level is proper. Any ideas?

 

Did you replace the washer under the drain plug?

 

And make sure your drain plug is tight 14ft. lbs if im not mistaken and make sure the threads are not stripped.

 

22 ft lbs on the oil plug. (straight from the service manual)

 

It doesn't seems to be coming from the oil drain plug, but I will double check the seal and the torque. Thanks!

 

Thank you my good sir, as it is sadly, i am lacking one of those.

 

probably the right side engine cover/clutch cover, the seal is microns thick since it is made out of hondabond and its probably got a small tiny hole in it somewhere. It happened to me playboi

 

When I bought my bike the mechanic told me that most 1K's lose oil when Ridden.
He said that when riden hard the oil will at times come out of the exhaust (black smoke usually)

I don't know if this is true, so don't cut my nuts off...

I have an 04 also and I noticed that when I change the oil , about a week later the level is down.
I thought it was normal on 1k's
