He's got plenty of talc, it helps him get into the gimp suit.

clearly someone before has either patched up an old gasket of just not fitted one and used "instant gasket" in it's place when fitting that cover, if the oil lost is minor then I should be fine as long as you check your oil regularly, but at some point I'd get a proper gasket or make one and get that cover off, stanley knife blade to carefully cut away all that goo, and re-fit properly.

Cheers Mark.

Ignore it and ride around with me laughing at your old leaking bike.

it's your dodgy oil and filter change abilities

Fallout · 08-08-12, 09:40 PM

Actually, I didn't help it Bibio mate. Slightly overfilled. Probably put too much pressure on everything, but pretty sure it was leaking already.

@Rictus - Thanks for the advice mate. I may have a bash at the next oil change. I know spank has a proper gasket scraper he bought when he was blowing up his KTM EXC, so could borrow that and have a go refitting it.

Brake were rubbish tonight though. Think that's the priority!

I'm sure that things around somewhere, I'll have a hunt next time I'm rummaging in the garage.

it's because you have Orange wheels, the oil is trying to escape the horror of them

Fallout · 08-08-12, 10:13 PM

Shut it Job! You go mad for my orange wheels. You want them so bad.

@Ad - Cheers dude. And what about that huge ******* torque wrench? I bet you never use that. How much did it cost you, and do you want to flog it?

You can borrow it, but I do still use it occasionally (once a year) on the lawnmower.

If you put a pump in your undertray with a hose back up to the oil filler cap I think that'd solve the problem.

Or just ride upside down once in a while. Maybe on the roof of the Hindhead tunnel. Some of it will drip back in.
