QUESTION: Yes, i am sure. When i rev around 4000 rpm it leaks a lot of oil.

Answer
get a sprocket shaft seal from James Genuine Gaskets. they are double lipped and should solve your problem. When you take the old seal out check the shaft for any wear where the seal sits or any burrs. You can clean it up with some very fine emery cloth which also might help.
Good luck and happy riding
