Ok.. I just went and checked..the leak seems to come from behind the switch, I could see a small drop..
I might have to unscrew the switch and then see.... By the time the leak source is detected, I'll be an expert on this bike.
Here is the pictures.. of the leak..minor-leak-from-behind-the-switch.jpgthe-leak-mystry.jpg

That switch maybe sealed with an o ring or paper gasket,which can usually be purchased at a good auto parts store like napa.The paper gasket can be made from gasket material bought from the auto parts store.I have made my own gaskets for years and they work just as good as factory and sometimes better.I don't recommend sealers like rtv or silicon.It will squish out into the inside of the engine, where it can break loose, and lodge in a small oil passage and kill an engine.

Yes.. there is an O-Ring in the groove, (No paper gasket). Well, I'll have to look for it at the auto parts store. I'll have to take the O-ring out..
For the time being - I had some very tiny thin rubber bands, I wrapped 2 bands around the O-ring and put it back. it's been over an hour I have not
seen any oil as yet. I'll know by tonight.
I have three bikes besides this Honda 2012 Shadow Aero750, 2012 Honda Fury 1500cc and the 2008 Honda VTX1800F...
I might sell this DF250RTB, let me know if I can find buyer for it. It only has 175 miles on it..
Any ideas on the O-rings besides auto part store..

Wow!! I just Googled and saw 180 pc set for $10.49. Great ideas come from great people!!
Thanks a lot, you have been really a big help in your expert guidance on the subject matter.
BTW, Seems the rubber band trick worked no leak so far, will check again in the morning. I'll get the O-ring from Harbor Freight.

Yeah, Already ordered it on ebay the same one which Harbor Freight had. I also needed some rubber grommets for my saddlebag
on VTX1800 they were of stock, so I ordered that on ebay too from the same guy. Al little expensive, but no biggy.
Yeah, that rubber band might not hold, i don't ride that bike that often, the oil leak was staining my garage and was getting to be annoying.
I won't ride until I install the o-ring.
Planning to Plasti Dip the bike black mat finish. http://dipyourcar.com
