    Now that I fixed my petcock I dont have an engine full of oil, got the fluid and filter changed, put some gas in and ran it down the road. I was happy for a full 9 hours until I went into the garage this morning and saw a puddle of gas under the bike. No gas in the oil this time just a drip from this thing

    Sorry for what may be a simple question to some but what is involved in fixing this. what is it exactly?
    Any help would be appriciated. Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Re: another frustrating day

    Looks to me like a Throttle Shaft Seal.

    Do you think you could find time to access your Signature Section and put in there (at least) ...

    The Year and Model of your Bike.

    Without the BASIC Information ... we really don't know, do we?

    yup throttle shaft seal looks to be leaking to be sure blast the area(try not to hit the rubber directly) wipe off all loose dirt and dry then double check where the fuel is leaking from.

    Yeap! Butterfly seals. You should do them all when yo get ready to fix this. Chacal can get you the seals you need. I highly recommend you get the screwdriver set as well and a new set of butterfly hex head screws. The screwdrivers are designed for use on these Japanese bikes as the angle and depth of the screw slots are different than those in the US. You run a high risk of stripping the head of a screw if you try and use a standard US phillips to remove them.
