No, not Barney.
Those of you keeping score at home know that I have four motorcycles. You should also know that at the end of the year none of them were ridable.
The hack was sidelined with a flat front tire. That got fixed on Thursday.
The R100RS is sidelined while I rebuild some stock carbs to replace the Mikuni’s that have never been jetted right and then I need to replace the oil pan gasket.
The GPz305 is sidelined because I didn’t get it out last year at all. I’m going to get it out this year because Liz wants to start riding.
The K1100RS was sidelined with an oil leak from parts unknown.
Today I was cleaning the garage and I decided I needed to figure out where the oil leak was coming from. The only sign I had was that there was a puddle under it last fall. So I parked it until I had time to look at it.
Today I dropped the belly pan. No sign of a leak. Sure there are some gaskets that are weeping, but nothing that would leave a puddle.
So I fired it up and rode it around the lakes to get it nice and warmed up. When I got home I pulled into the garage and left it running while I looked for drips.
Nada.
So I put the belly pan back on and I’ll just ride it I guess. Where did the oil on the floor come from last fall? It’s a mystery.
