>Hello all, I have a small oil leak where the foot gear shifter shaft goes into the gear area. I had the bike in a shop about a year and a half ago with the same prob, they installed a new ,very inexspensive seal and fixed the prob. Noticed it dripping again today. Has anyone out there come across this?
