Oil leak


Buckster

Recommended Posts

I know you all think Harleys all leak oil but that just the usual bullshit. I have however found an oil leak and thought it was just my primary cover gasket but it turn out it is the inner primary gasket which is a pain in the arse and means no rally this coming weekend. Not a difficult job as such but a long one as it means stripping the entire primary out. I guess it gives me a chance to inspect everything.

Do it after the rally assuming it's a minor leak.

I just flicked through a vid on you tube of said job. Lots of "while it's in bits" parts to replace which don't look very cheap. Could use a few special tools too but nothing that bad.

I have all the special tools. Dealer would charge £500 plus I imagine. All I plan on replacing are the inner and outer gaskets and the stretch bolts and the tensioner shoe. Unless I find anything I feel the need to do.

Rubbing his nose in it with your expensive new bike as well while he is wondering if he is going to have to sell his daughter as a camel jockey.

Do you think maybe hauling that trailer might have put the final nail in the koffen for the old girl...?

Nothing good ever came of attaching a trailer to a motorcycle!
