Never ending oil leak-Finally ended!

<<Side question for you - is your air cleaner box cover losing its seal? The foam's mostly gone on mine and the plastic cover is slightly warped. Not sure if/how bad that is, so I may just electrical tape it in place.>>

Two years ago I found there was nothing left of my air filter element. I replaced it and it was fine. I do not know about the rubber seals. I haven’t looked at it in two years.

 Just some replacement header gaskets - #1 worked itself loose somehow and torqueing to spec' didn't resolve it, so time to replace the seals.
Need to get it running well enough for inspection at Joe's in Broomall. May have them do the fine tuning if I can't get it running smoothly.

Now if it's new bikes your talking...I could go for this R 1250 RS when the lotto pays out!

I couldn’t find it, and my mechanic friend couldn’t either. Up until recently. He dropped some dye in there and hit it with a UV light. It was coming form the water pump. The shaft had worn away. He replaced the water pump for me and no more oil smell for the first time in years. I rtook it on a short 20 mile ride tonight and it was perfect. > > Ralph L.
