Have you cleaned it Clive ?

if you have, chuck some talcum powder on the suspect area and then you should be able to see more clearly where the leak is

Don’t forget to hold it up and for a burp before tucking it away

Got up and staid in bed for an hour watching the sky outside, with the dark clouds rolling by, then got up and came to my hilltop cafe for a coffee.

chilling on a table away from the cyclists, before it gets busy, off in a few minutes

Will give that a go.πŸ‘

I think it's coming from the cam cover, but the cam chain tensioner is on the top of the engine, but cannot see up there without literally taking the scoot to bits.

Will give the talc a tryπŸ‘.....will Johnson Baby powder be best?....Or will Asda home brand be ok?.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

When do you reckon that you can get back on the bike again Keith?

I gave it a try today, you certainly know when you haven’t ridden for a while, did about 45 miles, back was ok but then when I came to a junction I got frigging cramps in my thigh twice, need to get out on it more and loosen up the muscles.

Nice one! Yeh.....we do seize up a bit as we get older!

When we were young we could ride all day no problem at all.

Yeah that’s a fact, even if I loosen the muscle up the fucking old worn hip will hurt like hell.😫😫

Got the Himalayan out today and everything seems to be working again.  :littleguy:

Too hot and dusty for a long ride today, but it is always nice when you fix things and they stay fixed! πŸ˜

I think the painting of the shifter looks good, well if you like orange. πŸŒž
