Thanks for the ideas, guys. To be honest, I already have two projects for the winter, so yanking the engine and transmission out of an R90 might have to wait. I’m a little afraid to pull the bike too far apart because I have a disease called “Since you already have the bike torn down you might as we...

I don’t think it’s the neutral safety switch. It appears dry around that. I do think the shifter shaft seal is leaking a little as it’s damp right around the shaft. I was also looking at the clutch lever assembly as this looks like a GREAT place to have a leak, and it could easily run down the rear ...

That’s what I was afraid of.

So now that I’ve hijacked my own thread, I might as well keep it going. Turns out, although the push rod tube seals are indeed “weeping”, it’s very minor compared to before. My oil spots on the garage floor have turned out to be from the transmission. I believe the shift shaft seal is leaking a tiny...

My bike also doesn’t have that $2000 o ring on the oil filter housing that I’ve heard about. I guess I need to do some more research…

Both of the mufflers on my bike have dents on top which I’m assuming is from people banging them while installing the bags. You can’t see them when the bags are installed, but I can’t live with dented mufflers, so I’m wondering what to purchase to replace them. I see euro moto electrics has a set fo...

When I first purchased this R90S I bought an oil filter off of eBay that I THINK is for an R90/6. It’s the two piece hinged type. It’s a good filter, I’m sure, as it’s a Mahle, but I wasn’t sure it was the right one for my bike, so I bought a one piece filter and installed it. Now I’ve got this two ...

And…
The pushrod tubes have started leaking again. I guess that will be yet another winter project for me. I’ll be asking questions about that process once I get it started.

I can’t tie a decent knot to save my life! I get my shoelaces in knots when I try to take them off, but not on purpose. I tried finding small bungee cords for the top of the side covers, but couldn’t find any that I liked enough to actually trust them. So, on the right side cover, I drilled another ...

I haven’t painted my new battery cover yet, but I did drill a 3/16 inch hole in the leading edge of each one and zip tie it to the frame. Black cover, black frame, black zip tie. You wouldn’t know it’s there if you didn’t look for it. Gonna try the small bungee on the top where the o ring belongs. T...
