Does anyone know what this is?

I have an 05 WR450f and on the side of the bike next to the generator cover, there is a small another small cover. Why is this plugged? Is this factory or did the previous owner do this? I'm trying to post pic. but forgot how to do it. Anyhelp would help.

yes, that is the oil filter cover

Oil filter cover for sure. Must have hit a rock or something and cracked it. JB Weld is perfect for that kind of fix. If it doesn't leak I wouldn't worrry about it.

Yeah that's not a factory job, definitely jb weld. That little bump is the feed tube for the oil filter.

If you're concerned about it and plan on keeping the bike consider a Ready Racing stainless steel oil filter. They run about $50 and come with a cover. They're a deal if you ask me.

Thanks for the info. guys...

Get a skid plate or next time it may take more than JB weld...

That would be a tough place to hit either way but a skid plate may help and that stock guard on there does not offer much protection

Thanks, I found a new one for $33.00 and the ready racing for 50.00. I'm going with the aftermarket.?
