neutral switch washer leak

[mason79]

i thighten it a little , i suppose it slowed the drip, i could leave it ;1 drip a week, but i know it will make a mess, that i cleaned up from the po's inattentivenss.

i check seattle yamaha they have it, the local dealers says no. i think he's prankin me, it's just a washer.
pan seems dry.

1)do any of you know if the internal well is deep enough in the shifter to avoid draining the crankcase of oil, so i can just spin it off and spin it back on?

2)will another washer fit,

3)and lastly, could it be leaking notoriously somewhere close that i missed with my scrutiny?

any comment will be appreciated

Hey Mason,

It's not a Washer, but an Oring, Yamaha describes it as
10.2-16-1.0 IIRC, that means the inner diameter of the Oring is 10.2mm, can't remember what the 2nd # is for, and the last is that it is 1.0mm thick! You might be able to find one at your local hardware store?

Standard size, 13/32 diameter, about 3/64" thick.

You could lay the bike down on it's right side, not sure how your turn signals and such would fair, but that would keep you from having to drain it!

i went to a dealer that had a "washer" it's copper and is not an o-ring, , btw how does the neutral switch work, my bike starts in gear, is it broken?

The neutral switch only provides a ground for the green light to come on. That is all it does.
