Good afternoon everyone. I am hoping to pick your brains and get some thoughts and/or advice as to what you think I am seeing and what some of the causes/remedies may be.
I managed to get a little bit deeper into the bike yesterday and stumbled onto a few things that I will want to address. When I took off the lower faring, both the front and the rear of the engine had significant dirt residue. There is no smell to it so I could not figure out if it is gear oil, coolant, or oil. I'm ruling out fork oil for now due to the fact that the seals appear to be in great condition, the fork tubes look great, and there wasn't any residue on the front of the fairings. My initial guess is I have a coolant leak upfront and a gear oil leak in the back. I hope that's not the case, but considering where the paint has come off and how, that's what I'm thinking so far. Thoughts? Recommendations? Clutch nut perhaps?
Worst case scenario, I will just replace the seal of whatever leaks I may find as I go; just hoping it's nothing significant when I get there.
Around the electrical wiring harnesses, it looks more like friction tape, as opposed to electrical tape. Does anybody know if this is true?
For the splines, I have and have been using the Honda Moly 60 for the splines on my RT. I will assume I can clean off the old crud and use the Molly 60 in its place? I've seen in places that I can, but I wanted to hear it from you guys whether or not there is a better option out there.
