My bike originally came with oil junction box pipes which were not straight. I found a replacement with the straight pipes and when removing the original I found the fastening bolt very loose which was causing a leak.
@@fjdelmonteThe original pipes with the bends when hooked up to the rubber oil hoses made it difficult to have access to the bolt which had to be loosened in order to adjust the primary chain tension.
For such a small leak I would not really worried about it because if you use the bike it will start leaking where it will start leaking. Old bikes for leak oil regardless of how much work you put into them it just comes with the territory. Like I say real bike sleek oil but not too much.
Yeah, so true. I'm only putting all this time and effort in because I'm totally booooored. It's all uncharged. No cost to the owners. Things will pick up when it gets cooler and everyone will suddenly pull stored bikes out and want to go riding.
@@fjdelmonte I live in Florida where it's hot all year round except for a little bit in the winter in the mornings. I love riding so much it is so much a part of what I am. I have had my Sportster for 25 years now and I have had my Triumph TR6 for 40 years now. I can't imagine selling any of my motorcycles.
Florida hot? Yesterday it was 114 degrees here. Standing outside for just a few minutes the sun actually, physically hurts your skin. If you ride a bike the wind does not cool you down at all. It's like waving your hand around in a hot oven. On the other hand we had a pool party last Christmas day, so there are compensations. Come for a visit next July. I will rent a bike for you. My treat. BTW: My brother lived in Florida until one of your famous four-engine mosquitoes lifted him up and flew away. Haven't seen him since. Sometimes I miss him.
@@fjdelmonte Don't tempt me . I might take you up on your offer. I experienced your kind of heat in the 1980's on my trip act the USA after the Air Force. How it could be so hot during the day and so cold at night l don't understand.
We (you and I) have a tendency to silently whistle a little ditty as we work on bikes. Is that just an “ol’ fart” thing? Lol

I have seen that also. Nice catch!

Ahhh! I can see that! Thanks.
