Oil level check bolt/screw

[shmacky78]

2012 450 .. for the life of me, I can’t find a part number for this damn screw. Not sure what the correct name of it is? but it’s the little allen head screw on the clutch cover to check oil level. Mine is stripped and I’m gonna need to dremmel a notch in it and remove it with a flat head. Or should I just keep 1200 ml of oil in it and just change it every other ride as usual and not worry about it ?

EDITED (cause I was wrong the first time)

Right side cover in back, between top and bottom bolts.

14 BOLT (6X10)
09139-06055, $0.95

15 GASKET (6.2X11X1.2)
09168-06004, $0.97

I never check oil level on my YZ. I just change it frequently and add 750 ml (spec for my bike). I also measure what drains out to see if I am losing oil.

This is the little Allen head screw on the clutch side, on the clutch cover. Supposed to fill the bike until oil starts to seep out. Then your good to go. it’s just a little level check screw with an aluminum washer. Guessing it’s not really nessisary. Provided I change my oil regularly, and add the recommended amount? It’s just more of an assurance thing. But would still like to replace it

I never use it to check my oil. Just drain and refill.

Leave it in there and do as you described. When you change the oil just add the correct amount. Really no need for that bolt for anyone that has any mechanical knowledge what so ever IMO.

Like others said just fill with oil to spec 1100cc with just a oil change and 1200cc with oil and filter If you buy a aftermarket clutch cover you loose the check bolt anyways
