    Has anyone ever had the plug on the side of the engine crack? Mine has a hairline crack in it that is leaking oil down the side of my crankcase. 8O I noticed it today when I got to work when my foot peg seemed slippery.

    Does anyone know of a reason why that would happen all of a sudden? Anyway I rode over to the bike shop on the way home and ordered a new one. $12 for a plug. :x

    The MAIN reason is that they are designed nice ... but Made CHEAP.

    A little too much tightening and you fork over 20-Bucks and get 8-Dollars change.
