i have a 2003 kawasaki sxr 800 i recently pulled the plug on the stator casing and the bottom of the plug was a bit dirty with sticky oil like resdeu is this a possible indication of a crank seal leak??? should i be worried it seems to still run fine

soo i did the test its deffintly leaking a bit so i pulled the motor and the case on the stator side of the engine.. but stop there because i didnt wanna pull the flywheel without knowing if im gonna mess the timing up i see a mark on the flywheel should that be lining up with something, when the stator side cylinder is at tdc ??

JUST-IN-TIME

stator is under flywheel
you will not mess timing up until u pull the stator

so i can put the fly wheel back on in any position? the stator was mounted to the case i removed...

flywheel has a key way on it
