    Oil leaks

    Oil leaks

    Yammy did an excellent job in recreating the Brit bike in the XS650! They even copied the oil leak ;). I'm going to replace the sump gasket and filter along with the oil filter in the right side cover. I also believe there is a bit of leakage coming from the countershaft seal. Any tricks or...

    Anyone ever own a BSA?

    Just Ride.

    WooHoo! The weather gods were smiling on Missouri the last two days. Yesterday, high of 67° and the Honda and I took about a 100 mile putt and today was 58° and the Yammy and I took about a 60 mile putt. Forecast for Saturday is back in the 60's and sunny so the scoots may get some more exercise!
