here's the skinny:
it seems like every second ride i take, the gearbox is almost dry! their are NO external leaks. the gearbox vent tube is DRY. if i blow into it, it appears to hold the pressure, "mouth pressure." if i suck on the line, it holds the vac. these tests are on a cold engine. I am going to try it hot, and keep a vac guage on it while throttling it. A crank seal maybe??? and why? if so, go i need to replace the bearing as well? i change the gearbox lube every 4 rides..........
thanks,
