Spaugh 1 Posted January 3, 2009 i'll be riding in south SD with alex tomorrow. we are meeting at 1000 oaks campround at 10am. This will be some very steep and rocky terrain so not really a beginner ride. My offer for free lunch is still valid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted January 3, 2009 The ride is certainly not too early in the morning, just too rocky and steep for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaugh 1 Posted January 4, 2009 we had a good day, it was quite moist and foggy up in the mountains. Alex and I struggled to make it up the hills that take you to the monster hill. But after a few tries we made it to the base of the big hill and alex agreed it was the worst hill he as ever seen. Then we both chickened out and and turned around and went home.

Spaugh 1 Posted January 5, 2009 sorry bob, I think the humor got lost over the internet there. But seriously what kind of stuff you thinking about dude? I'm just here for the bike talk and riding, not looking for dates. Anyway, on our ride I had a bolt come loose that holds the top of my front chain slider. I didn't think much of it on our ride, but when we got back to the truck, my counter shaft seal was leaking badly. I got around to taking a look at it today. I couldn't F-ing believe it. That little bolt got grabbed by the chain and stuffed behind my sprocket and imbedded in the case. UGLY. I cleaned it up and put in a new seal, but its still leaking from the wound I am very sad by this. I can't believe it. The odds on this are astronomical. Not a good start of the year for me and briana. Leaky roof, broken carb, hole in my case. DAMN. I am going to try and use some sealant and hopefully that cures it. If not, new cases and chapter 7.

paulmbowers 236 Posted January 5, 2009 OW! Damn, Brad- you've been hit hard by the gremlins.... Looks like it should be fine if you used some rtv in the seal boss (and around the outside edge of the seal) before pressing it in to keep the oil from finding it's way around the circumference of the seal. Even if it's not perfect, you may be able to have it welded. But I'll bet you'll be OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it's not perfect, you may be able to have it welded. But I'll bet you'll be OK. +1, I always use RTV when I put in seals like this, not only does it help seal any imperfections, but it helps the seal slide in easier. I would try another new seal with the RTV and not bother trying to seal the one that is in there now. Good luck. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 412 Posted January 5, 2009 Brad, clean everything up super well and use a good hi quality made for metal epoxy, you may want to reinstall the seal with a little epoxy on the seal race. This is probably the best fix without having someone weld then try to grind out the seal boss to a tight seal fit. Best of work, you can do it! just be sure to have a super clean surface for the repair and give yourself plenty of room to work in that tight spot (bike on her side may be easier for that gravity assist)!!

PastaPilot 17 Posted January 5, 2009 Ouch, that's a once in a lifetime occurance. That bolt, getting stuffed there. No way that ever happens again.

paulmbowers 236 Posted January 5, 2009 I was just thinking- do you have the stock black plastic guard in place? I just changed mine to the little orange Slavens Racing master cyl guard. I wonder if the bolt would have just been tossed aside if it had not been contained by the plastic shell-guard-thingie. Just a thought. p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
