#@!#$# oil leaks!
Written by jim.strtr on 5/11/2011 at 05:17 am

Mine's leaking at 57,000 miles, but not a lot, so for now there's more important
things to deal with. J.S...

the entire cylinder walls so if there are other leaks, they are nearly
impossible to find. I had a friend help me just tear down the engine and pretty
much replace all the gaskets and seals. It was about 3 weeks total, but we
weren't exactly working on it everyday.

the last month or two. It was holding steady at a drop or two after every ride
but now it seems to be picking up the pace. Last year I replaced just about
every oil seal on the bike before I found last year's oil leak (it was the
shifter rod seal). Hopefully this weekend I'll have time to take the tupperwear
off and start looking for the source of the leak.
