Wow. Those appear to be crankcase half center gasket, clutch basket cover gasket, cylinder gasket (lower) and head gasket. Seems like that's a flywheel side cover gasket in there too! Well, you have more parts to save! But the head gasket will come in handy right away.

get this! maintenance man in my building knocks on door this morning telling me manager needs to see me in office with police, someone stole something off the bike. Well I go down, some shady looking dude went right up under my cover and stole my phone mount. then hopped on his bike and rode away. well, the manager knows who it is, other residents know who he is and I am pressing charges. its only a 20 dollar item, but its (was) my freakin speedometer right now!

Time to setup some type of shocking device. Many yeas ago where I use to live i had problems with people trying to break into my car at night. At least two or three time a week my alarm would go off in the middle of the night and I would have to get up and try to catch them in the act. I got tired of it. I asked a friend of mine if i could borrow his electric fence shock box. I ran a wire to my car and used an alligator clip to connect it to the frame. That night I hear the alarm go off and right after heard a loud scream. By the time I got up I saw the guy running down the street. I never had any more problem after that.

I hope you catch the SOB.

it's only a 20-dollar item but it's the final nail in the coffin of me living in this building. I am moving to another place, nearer my youngest daughter, down in Moundsville where the human filth is less prevalent. ironically, I had given my 30 day notice yesterday, the same day I was stolen from.

oh well, better times ahead.

PS: just got the tracking number for the Zarella.

I know people around here that are into that ghost / paranormal BS, and they have been on tours of the old Moundsville prison, and the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asalym . They are having a big Halloween party at the lunatic Asalym here pretty soon , and they are going.

I toured the Moundsville pen in 1999. those cells are inhumanely small. and at times they were 3 to a cell. whether the place is haunted depends on the level of insanity of the person who is in it at the time. hehe. (it's all in the brain!) I like Moundsville, it's more of my type of humans.

Best of luck to you.

Today is the day. The dash is coming today and I intend to head down to son in laws, do the dash and the head gasket. I re-read the thread and took more notes. I think I got this, plus there is youtube. Thanks again. I will let y'all know how it goes later this evening.

Zapkin · 10-10-2023, 06:46 PM

Well part of its done. Did the gauge.

waiting till thursday to do the head. warmer weather and help.

the leak looks like this now.

XLsior · 10-10-2023, 09:32 PM

Out of curiosity could the leak be caused by this bolt

well i did put a wrench on it briefly and it felt tight but it was a small wrench and i didn't want to mess anything up. i will check with a better tool. thanks. i've heard to use 24 ft/lbs on all of them also heard use 20 ft/lbs on this particular bolt.

I set it to 21, and it seems right but now you have me wondering. will check with GPS today.

thanks.

Every single head bolt underneath the rocker assembly was so loose that I could turn it with my fingers no wonder it was leaking

Zapkin · 10-13-2023, 07:50 PM

Okay so wow every single bolt all the way down to now removing the bottom end of the cylinder every single bolt is finger loose this was supposed to be a refurbished bike so what do they do come through and loosen all the freaking bolts
