Title: Leak at the site window
Post by: bigbore2 on January 16, 2012, 04:03:36 PM
Got the clutch master rebuilt and it works great, but now I have a leak at the site window. I don't suppose that can be fixed with any confidence over time. What should I do?

Another member posted on getting site windows repaired by some outfit. I had no luck searching on this site. Try this site http://www.newrivercyclesalvage.com/sight-glass.html (http://www.newrivercyclesalvage.com/sight-glass.html)

thanks mark

very kind........

I'm not too clever chucking spanners around and have nothing save a path for a workshop so don't get to work on my bike as much as I would like

I am very impressed with all the mods that you guys get up to, much more it seems than over here but nice to see the bike still being coveted as much as ever, I've been a yammy fan since the first RD250LCs arrived back in '81, THE bike to have and I was lucky enough to snatch a ride or two (I was only 13 back then)

started life with the FS1E and have stuck with yammies ever since, I've not had my bike for long and it needs quite a lot of maintenance to bring it up to scratch but still makes me smile, long may it continue
