leak

Hi! After getting my bike out of winter storage the bike began to leak small amounts(drops) of brake fluid at the scoops. I know this because its eating my paint! Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Anybody ever have a weeping coolant leak from where the coolant hose attaches to the front head? I'm getting ready to drop my engine down for better access to it but I had a small leak from that area all last year, replaced the hose, replaced the clamp, went to a worm clamp and still leaking :(...

I just bought a 2003 V-Max, very clean, always kept inside, 14,000 miles. The only issue is a small oil leak, a small drop occasionally. I think it may be coming from the oil sensor. The leak is on the left side down low, but above the neutral switch. Anyone seen this before?

HI guys, I'm stumped. I changed and flushed my coolant a couple of weeks ago. since then, she leaks coolant but only when cold, a day or two after I've ridden??? It was coming from The radiator manifold where the plastic housing that the cap goes onto fits flush up with the metal manifold held...

..from where the clutch lever pushes the rod into the M/C :damn angry: It's dripping on the bike and on my jeans and jacket as I ride along :bang head::bang head: Is there a rebuild kit available cheaply and easily to fix this? Or, does anyone have a M/C in good working order they'd be happy...

Well guys many of you regulars probably remember my journey last year with building a 1428 chain drive mostly from used parts that Sean had. I build a lot of engines so it was not my first by any means. The block was honed, new pistons, and rings that were all end gapped properly etc. My...

Hey guys so i have a 99 VMAX and after a recent oil change an oil leak has manifested itself. i checked the oil filter and it had a good seal with no oil coming out of it along with the drain plug. The forward most point of the leak is on the crank case cover if you are looking at it from the...

hi guys, its the golden shower bike, i replaced my water pump seals and bearing as i was getting crap in the coolant, all fixed, now i seem to be getting abit of leakage from the breather cover (in the middle of the V). im seriously pissed as i forgot replaced the gaskets for the...

So I'm trying to determine the cause of oil that leaks down the left side of my engine. I managed to locate the source (pic attached) but don't really know what could be causing this. The rubber pods, if that's what they are called, are brand new so I know that's not the culprit. I have tried...

Trying to find where my oil leak is coming from, maybe somebody has had the same leak. I drips when it is parked, by the left front foot peg. Just like a dog marking its spot. I have had the clutch cover off and new gasket put on it twice. I took it off and put gasket goop on it. I had the...

So started to perform shotgun and found one of my air fuel mixture screws is stuck and I screwed up the head so the screw driver will no longer grab, lesson to be learned make sure the screw driver is a perfect fit before starting. I performed shotgun on the other three carbs and hoped for the...

Hi everyone, I'm a new member out of necessity! I need to pick the collective brains of the forum. With no previous issues of any type I started up my '88 Max and while letting it warm up noticed a bit of smoke from the front left, oil dripping from the left front motor mount onto the pipe. I...

Well I've had an annoying coolant leak all season, been weeping out of the drain off hole under the spark plug on cylinder #2 (front left while sitting on the bike) so I determined it was coming from the coolant hose where it attaches to the head. Trimmed about an inch off the hose to get to...

I noticed the crankcase cover on the left side was dripping oil. I ordered and replaced the O-ring and the large gasket, but still have a oil leak, and when I pull the cover off it looks like its coming from the center area. Does anybody have a suggestion or recommendation of what else to check.

The output shaft is held into the engine block with 3 bolts. The bolts are arranged 120 degrees apart. 12, 4, and 8 o'clock. One of the bolts gets a thick washer behind the head. Anyone know the purpose of this washer? Can anyone confirm what position this washer gets installed in: 12, 4, or 8...

Hey all, I'm noticing a small oil leak, where it comes from i have no idea so here is some info. :bang head: let the bike just sit, no oil to be seen. Drive the bike for 15-30 mins you will notice oil slowly building up somewhere up under the "fake" tank, it runs down on the choke arm, and out...

I have a leak at the cap bolt washer on the tensioner. Is this just a plain ole crush washer I can pick up at a parts store? The Ron Ayers parts fiche only shows the entire tensioner assy. for $91. I don't think so. Anyone replaced this before? Thanks, Randall

Today I got the idle circuit screws set properly, and I got the carbs synced, and it does seem to run better, especially off idle. I do still seem to have an issue. The RPM's generally descend slowly. And at times, the RPM's do not want to drop below two grand. And when they do descent below...

Hey guys, I've been getting a good bit of pop when cruising at 3-4K rpm. It looks to be an exhaust leak, I could feel air escaping right at the base of the conical muffler section where there is an opening to the rest of the muffle and exhaust system. So I took off the muffler; I can still...

Hi guys, I have an 85 model Vmax that has developed an oil leak from hell. I cannot get it to seal to save my life. It is leaking between the breather cover and the engine block. You know the oblong two piece cover located between the heads that has both water and oil in it. It is leaking in...
