Hi - First post here. I currently own a Moto Guzzi V11 Sport. I am obtaining my father-in-laws 77 CB400F with ~12K. He is not as stable as he used to be (who is) and my wife is encouraging him to go a trike route if he wishes to continue riding which he is open to do.
It has had an issue for several years and from research I have done I think he has a “dried-out” gasket of some sort and the oil pickup tube is leaking. We notice that there is oil on the left most cylinder. Additionally the cam chain makes noise and I believe probably needs adjusting.
Anyone have any experience getting a mechanic to fix this? Again, from some researching I heard it is quite a bit of work and perhaps the engine needs to be pulled? Just trying to determine the feasibility of getting this done or find out what anyone else has done/experienced. Any advise is appreciated.
Regards,
Bob
