I finally got around to swapping out my bad shift shaft with the new
part... easy repair and well... I can shift now!
Anyhow, while I was making the repair, I noticed a couple of things:
1. My left cylinder appears to be slightly weeping oil just below the
exhaust header nut. The oil (very very slight amount) is running along
a cylinder fin towards the spark plug. As I was tracing (and cleaning)
its route... I decided to pull the plug. Looked pretty good... slight
oily residue though. What is this indicative of!??
2. While the bike was on the center stand I spun the rear wheel and
noticed a fairly significant amount of drag on it (yes it was in
neutral!... I double checked!). Is this normal?? (hard to define
"slight amount" without a way to really measure it... but if I give it a
good spin it only makes two or three revs.)
Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
