keny Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 You think you could find a seal and put it on the current one whit some sealant around? Did that on my VW Golf gearbox change shaft that did leak even it got a new seal becorse of a worn shift axel. Did work on that VW gearbox at least.......... Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 19, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted February 19, 2016 Once the weather improves, actual riding will tell how good this fix is. Have to wait till 1st March anyway. If not, Dutchy meet The Dutchy part trois :-) Quote

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 27, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted February 27, 2016 Dodgy rubber.... Better use good rubber on her, with a dollup of KY euh I mean red rubber grease... Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 2, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 2, 2016 Yep, that collector box needs seeing too.... Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 5, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 5, 2016 4 celcius today, which IS a wee bit nippy... Rode to a wrench day/meet, good that I arrived when the burgers were ready :-) The clutch rod oil leak fix seems to be holding and I do like the RT emulators initial feel. Roads too cold for any serious pushing, but less dive yet planted feel for now. This year I will be experimenting with them. Didnot drill extra holes, will wait if and when a spare set of front forks are at hand. Quote

Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted March 6, 2016 Member Contributer Posted March 6, 2016 You bastards across the Atlantic and your full fairings! Love that bike. Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 6, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 6, 2016 At the wrench/meet..... Should I spot a set for sale, I will let you know Captain! Aye aye.. Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 12, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 12, 2016 Well, the crimp over clutch rod mod proved a temporary fix, she is back to leaking. So in 2 weeks I will visit The Dutchy for a spot of Dremelthodology.. did treat the girl to some semi-dino; did 4Kkm's on her last year and the previous owner said he'd changed it 1k prior. Drip drip dripping! (Kool Moo Dee ) Quote
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted March 12, 2016 Member Contributer Posted March 12, 2016 Your oil looks like Canadian maple syrup ... Quote

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 15, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 15, 2016 Spot the additionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!! Not seeing it? No? Quote
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted March 15, 2016 Member Contributer Posted March 15, 2016 A light? Don't they all come with one? I know! IT'S THE HORN!!! I don't get it....Hehehe Quote
keny Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I fear the new lights might hit the fork lowers, the orginal turn signal holders did so on my as other got slightly bent just...so if paint come off the fork lower just below the seals, and you hear a sharp snapp as you brake, you know what the problem is... Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 16, 2016 I will have a closer look in the morning, raise them if needed! Kiitos kiitos for the heads up! Quote
keny Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) An add, for me the problem just happened now and then when steering in a certan angle and suspension did use a lot of travel. Other than that I think the look cool, forgot to mention that! Edited March 17, 2016 by keny Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 17, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 17, 2016 Cheers Keny, Checked out the clearance and bounced the forks in every position; puma is good to go! New seal is in, over Easter it will be dremelled and kitted in place.. Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 23, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted March 23, 2016 A kind member from a Dutch forum gave me some chemical&heat resistant shrink-tubing to try and stem the leak on the clutch rod after the regular stuff clearly failed. But nope, still leaking............ So Satruday it will be Dremel Time! but at least I did get a test run in today! Spot the man at work! Quote
