    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Gearbox oil leak?

Bike has been sitting for weeks while I slowly rebuilt the carbs in my spare time (Thanks to Mr. Bar at CycleOrings.com! Excellent product and customer service).

I go to install the carbs and notice she's sprung a leak... If it ain't one thing it's another.

At first glance this looks to be a failed gasket behind the square piece w/ round center on the gearbox? I tried to find a part number through suzukipartshouse diagrams, but couldn't. Does anybody know? Is there anything more major I should consider other than a gasket?

Thanks as always :)
 
Ah, that's the part schematic I was looking for. Missed it somehow. Thank Brendan, I'm gonna get the plug and O-ring both. Bike's over 30 years old without much restoration, might as well do it right.

Your profile picture looks like you're rounding a course marker/racing buoy, yeah? Motorcycles and sailboats are a damn good way to get around by land and sea. Something about freedom, etc.
 
Nieupoort, Belgium Laser Radial Worlds. Not me in that pic. Eldest son.
He was in Portland Maine a few years prior to that on an Irish youth team.
We raced a lot together single and double handers.
Must change it to one of me :)
