Hey everybody. My bike seems to have a small slow leak at the front sprocket shaft. Its very minimal and only happens when my bike sits(which due to work is all the time! :yell:
I don't have a bike stand, just the 'ol triangle, therefore, it's always leaning to that side for a good period of time(i need a stand, I know). Would that cause the leak? Do I need to take the motor apart and replace the seal? I hate to have to, because once in there I'll wanna replace stuff with new stuff that I can't afford, and don't wanna be out of comission. Just wondered if the bike always leaning to that side could be causing this. Thanks in advance for you help.
I pulled the sprocket off and built a crappy stand out of wood to hold it straight and placed a paper towel on the frame to see it the leak persists.
edit....what's involved in fixing the problem?
again, Thanks.
