I removed both drain plugs, cleaned and inspected the old o-ring, small plate and drain plug, didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Put everything back together using a new o-ring. I used just a dab of silicone grease on the o-ring only. Did not use any gasket sealer on anything else. I tightened the hell out of the two 8mm screws hoping that would help stop the leak. Started the scooter and ran it for approx one hour, everything looked good. This morning there is a small spot of oil under the scooter in the area of the small plate with two screws.
My previous post in this thread regarding the drip pan and kitty litter is based on a converstion I had with the local RE dealer. I mentioned to him that the scooter had a small leak. He told me "Oh haven't you every owned a British bike before, they all leak oil"
I would really appreciate any positive suggestions. If anyone could tell me the recommended torque value for the two 8 mm bolts and the drain plug, it would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
Terry
