spoke too soon
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:14:41 AM »
Just when I have had no oil leaks for a couple of months,solved all my gasket issues,look what I found after a short ride the other day.Not sure if my bike likes the new seat I got her.Payback.Oh well,at least I have a frame kit and I got home and pulled it all apart in 20 min.Just waiting on a new gasket and It'll be easy as pie.
its better to regret something you have done,than something you havent.Except playing with explosives.

I was hoping this would be a pun about your spokes.  Oh well...

+1, but now I'm here, I tracked my leaking valve cover down to a blocked breather hose. The crankcase pressurises and pushes oil out in all the weak spots.

Got my gasket,put it on last night and rode to work today,so far its dry.Its always something with these old classics.
