Some troubles.. Oil drip, "hard gearing", etc.... :(

[keand3]

(3 children, and 4`th coming shortly) so need to do this this evening, as they daytime is occupied

Tell me about it! 
When moditus hits you its almost impossible to get time to treat it 

Hope you find your leak. The new drainplug is on its way.

Looking at the photos of the collector. I can guess the photos are the bottom of the collector. With the amount of oil gathered below the #3 head pipe. I am going to offer up that the oil cooler line is leaking at the right hand oil pan fitting just above the #3 head pipe. The line has an 'O' ring and the 2 bolts are very easy to strip the threads. (don't ask how I know). The torque is only 7 ftlbs.

Do check those oil cooler fitting bolts. I lost a bolt on a ride last year and my rear tire looked like this...



Made it kinda challenging to negotiate the first couple of corners until I pulled over. Here's a pic of the missing bolt.



And the trail of oil on the road.

Derek; Wouldnt want to experiense that no

In regards to my oil leak, it seems as Fred might be right here, crawled below the bike and found that just behind the right insertion from the oil cooler to the engine there is quite a bit of fresh oil from there and backwards..

Is it a regular O-ring between there? Just wondering where i can get a hold of one

As far as i can tell, it must be there, and the wind has spread out the oil backwards alongside the collector.. No wonder im loosing some oil then

Damn!

Thought i was rid of the electrical issue.. But, lights out again

Took it for a friend that would have a look, tok off the entire "coverage" (dont know the english word, the huge plastic frameing in front.. No wires are worn or torn, opened some isolation from some wires, not troubles there..

Lubricated some contackts, and it seemed to work fine.. Pulled the throttle, and poff, there the fuse went again.. We did like that a few times, and at last,, it seemed as everything worked, but on my road again home i pulled the throttle, and poff... Lights out again

Damn! Annoying problem to have

When I had that prob (On two FJ`s) I had HID Chinese aftermarket lighting system. (The fault was probably in the heat affected sealed Ballast). Changed back to standard and added a relay to overcome Voltage drop and upgraded H4 globes. Much more reliable for me. (Though I accept some aftermarket HID systems may be better than others.)
