leaks

Any of you guys have leaks on your aftermarket master cylinder covers? A friend has a set like mine and he developed a leak while the bike was parked on the side stand with the handlebars turned to the left. He noticed that the OEM covers have a vent to atmosphere and the aftermarket ones don't...

Speaking of gas leaks, here is something I saw last night which called me to-action on several different levels. I went to get gas and while I was waiting for a pump, I saw this truck at the pump pissing gas out the bottom in the middle of the truck like a bathroom faucet open 1/3-way. I...

I replaced my front brake lines getting rid of the leak there. Then I replaced the shift shaft seal, sealed the stator wires, replaced the gasket, cover 2 gasket and crush washer, torquing everything to book specs. I rode it a few miles parked it and I'll be damned if there isn't a spot under...

I'm starting to see some gear oil around the joint area of FD and S/A. It seems to happen under load. Is the vent supposed to prevent this or do i have to replace some seals and which ones?

Can propane be used to check for air leaks around the intake manifold? danny

Well, I added the EBC HH brake pads front and rear. There is a very noticable difference in braking power now. However, the very same day I adDed the pads and tried it out, I noticed oil on my right fork that was left behind as the fork moved up and down from braking. I try to have at least...

I have a new clutch slave cylinder and new clutch pipe and fittings. I'm still finding hydraulic fluid on the garage floor. What's the deal with that? Anybody have any ideas?

My 1992 leaks right here (see pic) is it an easy fix that an amateur to working on Bikes can fix? Or am I going to spend alot getting it fixed. Thanks in advanced for any advice Mike W.

The V-max carburettor and inlet manifold assembly are a most likely source of problems like an elusive rough idle, hesitation and sputtering when rolling on the throttle at low and high speeds and other seemingly fuel related issues. Before you go tearing into the carburettors it often pays to...

I was very happy NOT to find a thread devoted to oil leaks. That’s got to be a good sign right? After arriving home from a 2,500km trip I noticed spots of oil on the garage floor that appeared over night. Now if there is one thing that drives me crazy, its oil leaks (and unidentified...
