Is your motorcycle leaking oil?
Do you see a stain under your motorcycle or a greasy film on the engine or forks? Where it comes from decides how quickly you need to act. If there is oil on your tyre, brake disc or pads, stop riding. We find the leak in Waalwijk; labour costs €75 per hour incl. VAT.
Where can it come from?
- A leaking gasket, for example on the valve cover or the crankcase.
- A drain plug or oil filter that doesn't seal properly.
- Leaking seals, for example at the gear shift shaft or the front sprocket.
- Forks leaking oil along the inner tubes. See fork seals.
- Not oil but coolant or brake fluid? Always have that checked straight away.
What can you do yourself?
Check your oil level according to the owner's manual and top up if needed. Take a photo of where it's leaking and send it with your message: then we can already give you a first estimate.

We clean the area, find the real source of the leak and tell you what needs to be done before we start.
