Actually, I'm not sure how fond I am of the looks, either, to be honest.   If I do go chrome, I'll do the starter, too, though.  They probably designed that beotch to leak after a certain time just to give people like me a reason to think about spending more $$$s.

Oh, I forgot about that. Definitely time to do the chrome starter if you just want that.

Last year and the year before I had mine leak.It took them 4 times to get it right, and on the 4th time pulled the gear set and replaced the shifter "pawl" too. They would not stand behind it if I used cometic seals.  As of today its damp again.
If I had to do it over, I would have the pawl changed with the cometic seals.....

Yea it is, but this time I was reminded before I had some work done on my bike.

When I changed my starter and flywheel gears, I purchased Cometic C9888 inner and outer primary seal/gasket set that included all the seals/gaskets necessary for the R&R of the inner and outer primaries.  I then bought the 5 pack of the shift shaft seal..

She'll get some miles this weekend.  I'm not sure what this is.  There isn't any dripping.  There's just this "gummy" residue that appears down there and not much of it, and when it does appear, it takes awhile.  Other than that, she runs great, but she's finicky about the way she's ridden.  Still 900 pounds of fun tho'.  She turned 3 years old this month.  Things break, wear out, get loose, and we fix those things and keep on riding.  Despite how we feels about these machines, there simply that; machines.

Well....it's gone from "gummy" to wet.  Dripped on Ken's garage floor once this past weekend.  Hasn't dripped on mine since we got home yesterday afternoon.  Don't think it is the shifter shaft seal tho'.  Mainshaft primary seal perhaps.  Reeks of gear oil (Bel-Ray 85W).  It is nasty under there......blowing back all over the left side of the oil pan, but still not bad enough to get on the tire or the belt.  I'm hoping I can ride it through the rest of the fall, then tear it down and replace all the left side seals over the winter.  31K miles.  Things like this happen.
