Hey guys I just serviced my chaincase, and I notices that my Oil Tank Flange actually has cracks. All three holes where the bolts mount, On the inside by exhaust. I have take pictures and will uploaded them. Looks like Factory has over torq them I'm guessing. Has anyone else seen this.

Per the operators manual page 17 it calls for 1.2 kg-m or 102 in-lbs. (8.75 ft-lbs.) the critical part or CAUTION is to clean out the holes well with compressed air and any material on the fasteners or damage to the chaincase can occur. My chain case cover was also just replaced because of a cracked tab, the replacement was under warranty.
