DR200...WTF... yep wifes bike and it leaks.
Only started leaking some months ago after I rode it to the neighours to have a beer... I had 2 big bottles on my lap and was going up the driveway. One thing lead to another... crashed the bike in to the retaining wall. What a barstard of a bike, stupid thing.
So here i am holding 2 x 750ml bottles of RED... on the ground and the bike munted against the retaining wall.
Long story short... there is a dent in the tank and it now leaks oil... lots... and I never spilled a drop!
Any way the dam thing has been leaking on my garage floor for months. Pissing me right off. So I leave it outside in the rain... teach it right. But the wife being all angry cause I dented her nice bike.... not allowed to ride it now.
So the heap that leaks on my floor.. needs to be fixed.
While saving some cash for RG pistons... its time to do some of the other jobs that need doing.
Fix the Dr...
So what am I thinking? final drive seal leak.... gear lever leak... what ever it will be but its leaking a shit load of oil. So after putting up with this for months it time to look.
And...!
Yep the sump plug.... now that pisses me off... could have been fixed a loooong time ago and saved my cleaning up 1.5L off the floor... bit by bit. I shit you not... "this thing has been playing mind games with me... yes yes put somthing under it... might be easy for you but have you seen in my shed... to get in there bikes need to move to make room" ... But also... dam! that good, an easy fix.
Oil is now drained and FA is left... time to clean it up and have a better look tomoorow.
what a heap... remember its not my bike... I dont ride it, so i don't want to waste money now do i. Oh yes thats right its for the wife!!
Ok.. some thought went in to its selection... Cheap, short, and eletric start... all good things for a new wife rider...
