Hey guys. First time poster on the new forum. Site looks great.. keep up the good work!
Ive been having a ton of trouble getting an oil leak to stop. It seems to be coming through the camshaft seal into the points and advancing housing and then dripping onto the heads.. then on to my legs and bike at high speed..
Ive read this post
http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=816&highlight=camshaft+seal
and have done most of all the suggestions with the exception of xsjohns new spring (I dont have a spare fork seal spring to try this out) and the suggestion about making sure the bearings are all the way center.
Can you use a socket and drift while the head is torqued or do you have to loosen the head in order to confirm they are all the way center?
What is everyone using to clean the cam where the seal rides?
Anyone else had any luck with other methods?
I gotta fix this before I do any long trips, its just a annoying for around town driving, but you go on a 100 mile ride you and the bike will be covered in oil.
Thanks guys!
