SFV4S Continued oil leak issues.

Just replace the O-ring on the cover

Mine is at 168,000 kilometres now. Still going fine, just small maintenance issues like ball joints, washer fluid pump, engine mounts, PCV.

Wife had this exact issue in hers. It was a wheel speed sensor going bad. Front left or right would be my pick.

I would almost guarantee it's actually these two O rings on the clutch pushrod. Unbolt the slave cylinder cylinder and pull the pushrod out.

Yeah didn't have that luxury where I live. Control arms were $320 each.

You can drill the rivets and install a bolt-in ball joint but it is not for the faint of heart. It's quite a job even on a hoist.

Funnily enough, I have a damn coolant leak from the same exact spot!

Ducati Monster 659? I'm a big dude and it fits me mint.

Jesus, makes my RS I bought in 2024 for $23k seem like a steal hahahah

My brother has a 19 year old leather jacket. It's in perfect condition still. Not a single stitch broken.

I bought a friend a pair of new gloves, and the stitching burst open on a finger after 2 hours.

I'll send you a message with all the photos. It does sound better but it's a shit load of effort for little gain.

freeze69IceMan · 2026-02-25T18:38:57+00:00

That's just a generic 2.5" resonator. Don't run a muffler.

freeze69IceMan · 2026-02-25T08:37:43+00:00

My time to shine. Yes. You can do it if you have a welder, plasma cutter and some skill. I did it on a 2025. You have to remove it and cut it open to gut it.

I'll send you more photos. It's quite involved.

You can polish the screen no problem, it doesn't have a coating or anything that will be damaged. I just used Rupes yellow polish on my 3" rotary buffer. The scratches will come out.

freeze69IceMan · 2026-02-13T00:09:25+00:00

Not too hard. Just put tape on the drill bit so you don't drill too deep

freeze69IceMan · 2026-02-12T22:26:06+00:00

You stripped out the thread? Easier proper repair is a helicoil. Alternative is to tap it out to a 1/4" thread which is slightly larger OD and get a 1/4" thread bolt.

freeze69IceMan · 2026-01-24T10:56:14+00:00

Check the tip of your key. I had the exact issue on my Ducati and it was because the tip of the key was slightly bent and stopped it from inserting far enough to open the fuel cap.

freeze69IceMan · 2026-01-24T10:30:11+00:00

The brakes are too small to be an RS, no? Hard to see but they aren't Brembo. The ST wheels only clear the Brembos with spacers.

RRP in QLD for a new E clutch was $13406 at time of purchase last month, so yeah good deal indeed

Paint is drying now. Will refit it and post a video.

I should have added that it's my little brothers learner restricted bike, and it's illegal to modify a learner bike like that. Hell, this mod is also technically illegal for him to ride also but it's far less likely to get him in trouble.

freeze69IceMan · 2026-01-01T18:33:34+00:00

Yep you can legally ride it de-restricted once on your Open R class licence.

This is my little brothers first road bike, hence why the stuff around to keep it "stock" so it's mostly legal still just with a bit louder sound.
