    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.

hey guys, i finally got her on the road, but i have a leak coming from under the chain cover.... any ideas what might be causing this???

i need to pull the cover and check it out, which i will probably do right now, but i wanted to see if you guys had any insight.

its a gusher too, when the engine is warm and its on the sidestand, it just runs out pretty good
 
There are 3 possabilities. Seal behind the sprokket or the large "plug' that might be leaking. Or the starter motor seal is leaking and its running down a little hole it has to drain water out inside where the starter sits. Did you do a rebuild or what has started it to leak.
 
hmm, ended up being the starter seal...

i put in a new oring, and some rtv to back it up...

hope it holds
