Oil is getting in to the outer cover, then having gotten that far is obviously just dripping out. I can only guess along the kickstart shaft as it doesn’t leak sitting on the side stand. Suspecting a worn o-ring I’ve pulled it apart for a look and unfortunately there is scoring in the gearbox cover itself where the shaft passes through so oil will always get past the o-ring via the scores. I guess that I’m just getting this now as I did the sealed bearing conversion and am using only oil in the gear box. The grease/oil mix couldn’t have been so prone to finding a way out.
Has anyone had success with sleeveing the gearbox cover to create a fresh sealing surface?
Or give the scores a skiff of JB Weld or similar? Might be tricky to dress it back.
Or go back to grease in the gearbox!
