    Oil Leak

    I noticed about a week ago that my bike had been leaking oil. There was a small puddle everytime I warmed it up in the mornings. Today was the first day I had a chance to look at it and I believe I found where the leak is. I'm not sure how to fix it though. I have some pics and would appreciate any input. It also seems to only happen when I warm it up with choke. I went out there after I warmed it up and started it again, and It didn't leak.

    Not sure if the fitting is leaking or the crush washer. I would see if the lines are tight first. Though it does look like the actually oil line is leaking. I have an extra set of lines off a 03 1000 that may work. You can have them if you want to pick them up.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    He lives in Elizabeth, CO. I'd say about a good 45 minutes from Thornton.
