Jarad's bike

Looks like she might be up for sale again. Some dude in Tucson has it up for $4500. Doesn't look like it was taken care of as well as when it's previous owner had her.

I would've dropped it if I needed the back one too. I actually bought two gaskets with that in mind. When it's just the front this is maybe an hour job, probably less now that I've done one.

Replacing front cylinder valve cover gasket

Thought I'd put this up since I haven't seen anything about it yet and everybody else is so good about posting up the "little things".

I developed a serious oil leak while on a couple hundred...

Well, this post saved another this weekend. I had the backfire which blew the carb part way off the boot. There was about a 1/16" air gap at the top and that was enough. It would start if you gave it...

Interesting and yes, I'm running a synthetic blend. I've been running the same oil since I got it though. Bought it with 5240 miles and it has 43000 on it now. It is worth a shot though. I'll make...

Photo shows where it seems to be coming from. I'd say it's more of a seep when it's sitting still or idling.

Again.........if I clean it all up and go for a ride it seemingly won't leak anything...

Sorry so late here. It's been a rough go and it seems like everything I own has broken here lately.

I've checked everything that could be a potential oil leak. I did the cam plug deal a couple...

Gonna have to pull the motor

I developed an oil leak while cruising the interstate at 70mph. Puking oil like crazy. 99% sure it's the front cylinder valve cover gasket. According to the manual the motor has to come out. The...

Still leaking. It's not as bad as it was and I haven't run the crankcase vent bypass deal yet. I've got the little filter, but was hoping I wouldn't have to do it. Guess that's my next step. l did...

I've got a screw loose!

O.k. it's not really loose. Maybe missing though? Please take a look at the photo below. I've been battling an oil leak issue and just replaced my spark plug tube orings. They were definitely bad,...

They're going to get done. Probably wait until the end of our riding season though. Should be able to squeeze in a few more rides before it gets hot. I usually hang it up around June or so. It's not...

I actually had the bolt and one nut. Not sure why and don't remember buying it, but it was in my stock bin and brand new. It's not like a common size so maybe I bought it just for this, but if so why...

The tube has normal threads right? That thing will not come out of there. Put some pretty good crank to it and it's not budging. Afraid to bugger the threads up, or break it off in there.

Looks like Scott was right. Pulled the left front spark plug boot and I've got oil in the tube. Looks like it's cam extenders and a new spark plug tube for Danno.

Did some reading and found out the canister is to pass pre-heat water to the carb for quicker warm ups. I edited it out of my original post once I found out it's purpose in life. The crankcase vent...

Could use some assistance on this one. Couple photos attached. So I've enjoyed 2,000 miles of trouble free riding following my JOG/SOG near disaster and consequent bullet dodging. Saturday we went...

You might want to check your valve cover bolts too. I thought mine was coming from the cam plug, but it turned out to be loose valve cover bolts. You can get an 8 mm box end wrench or a 1/4" drive...
