Mike     work order shows me that oil seal, inner prim, gasket,clutch cover, gasket, inspection c, were worked on.  the bike is now, 1 year old, and dye in motor oil to dtect any lk, was applied.  what would you do next.  

Answer
Heres an easy way to find a oil leak. Wash the bike. Make sure the motor is clean. Now let the bike dry. Get a can of deoderant which has baby powder in it. Spray the motor with it. It wont hurt the motor. Now start the bike. you might have to go for a short ride if you have a very slow leak. Anyplace there is a oil leak the powder will turn black.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
