Wanted: Mechanic who's not backed up for months

[breakaway]

Hello,

I'm in Auckland, and I recently noticed an oil leak on my RG150. I've spoken to Red Baron, Mt Eden motorcycles, and also a few mechanics that I found out about from people on kiwibiker.

The problem is that all the mechanics seem to be backed up for ages, some of the aforementioned ones are not even prepared to take a look at it for this reason.

So does anyone know a wrench that isn't that backed up?

Any help appreciated :)

How's a sparky going to help you?

How bad is the leak? And where is it from?

I don't know much about bike mechanics, with this being my first bike and all. I'd like the wrench to take a look at my bike, see where the oil is leaking from, how much it's gonna cost, etc.

Where is it coming from? According it Ixion:

Went and had a look. It's definately oil, thickish oil. It's not as green as the photo, the camera has munged the colour, it's actually a greeny black

Bottom of the motor is liberally oiled up, and looks like it's running down the propstand.

Appears to mainly be coming form the gear change shaft seal, and maybe the sprocket seal (hard to see the latter). Bikes been down of the left side at some stage, so I suspect the gear lever took a clout and either slightly bent the shaft or bruised the seal.

Will definately need to be looked at some time, but won't do anything catastrophic in the short term, while $$ are being saved up etc. Just keep the gearbox topped up.

Sparkies do electrics. You need a wrench.
