Topic: CB550 Shifter seal, block off oil feed?

[Elniniomuchachos]

I think I fixed it. I just took about a 50 mile ride and haven't seen any new drips. I put a paper plate under that area to see if any new drips arrive in the morning.


When is the relay? I'd totally be down to ride with everyone through Phoenix.

you only have paper plates because you hate washing up the dishes!

[Elniniomuchachos]

Actually paper plates make good targets...

I went out to check out how the bike was holding up this morning. Only one tiny drop of oil. Which is much better than a 2-3 foot wide puddle. Hopefully it will hold for a while.

I also fixed my gas leak I had with the number four carb. last night.  I took the bowl off and noticed there was a crack in the float. I bet this happened when I wrecked last week. So I tossed that float out and took one from a spare set of carbs and now it's good to go. Though I still would like to tap the carb threads to freshen them up and get allen bolts on them. The number four carb only has 2 of the 3 bolts on right now, because one is stripped.

I got the oil pump back on with the "newer" o rings. two of the leaks are gone, but there's one left. It looks like it's coming from the plate with the three bolts in it. Is there an o ring behind there?

BryanJ sells the "o" ring you need for that cover.  I just got one from him...I am still chasing my leak.  It stopped for about 20 days now is back, tiny little drip (well 2 actually).  Guess I will be replacing "o" rings for the next 30 days until the rally...

[Elniniomuchachos]

Yeah, I put a little bit of gasket maker around the o rings just to help a little.

So far, you are the only Phoenix rider to sign up.
