    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Time for a Sealing??

I'm suspicious that this image shows that it's time to pull the engine and install completely new gaskets. Your opinions?

Why? Oil soiling your otherwise pristine bike?;)
 
As pessimism said, it sure is a shame that you actually RIDE your bike when you could keep it locked up at home and polished. :rolleyes:
In COMPLETELY stock form, of course. Like some members.

Is that oil from an hour long ride, or six years accumulation?

I'm thinking the oil leakage isn't half as bad as the brake dust all over he back of the engine.

Yes, this is the question.

If the oil isn't getting on your clothes, and you are not picky about cosmetics, then I'd wait a while to see if the leak(s) gets worse.

It's accumulated since December. I hadn't really noticed the oil until the last couple of weeks.
Brake dust? Interesting. When I checked them in November, they were st least 50% and I ride like a grandma. Guess I should check them again.
