after replacing the infamous clutch/tranny shaft/sprocket seals and putting everything back together, my T140 starts up, idles fine and revs great. I took her out, got about 5 miles into my test run and she starts sputtering/bogging down and I have to baby her another 3 miles back home.
Thinking maybe I had the clutch springs too loose I opened her back up tightened up. Start her up, idles fine, revs fine all the way to 5K, put her in gear and she bogs down, doesn't want to accelerate and wants to stall.
Take her back, scratch the ol' head and started to notice some movement with the clutch basket I'm worried might not be something that should be there. See my video with the engine off and kicking the bike over or tapping the kickstart lever and also with the engine running on idle. Could this explain why after all of this time, energy and work I still get a leaky bike in that infamous spot of gearbox oil? What is causing this or what is the fix? I'm tired of buying primary gaskets...I should just convert her to a belt at this point but before doing so I want to know what the solution is to this problem.
Could it be the front sprocket is out of spec and not fitting properly in the seal - it sits nice and tight on the tranny shaft splines.
And the whole infamous leak thing, I've got the sprocket and seal covered in RSV sealant, nothing is coming from the normal spots...
I've also double checked my wiring to ensure everything is connected and might be moving around when I try to moveforward and so far nothing appears out of normal and all connections are secure.
