    same reason I did brother - can't afford two bikes! otherwise I'd still have my yellow machine in the shed too!
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    You mechanics out there may be able to help with this. I have just found (before what would have been the 2nd trial ride this year) thta when the bike warms up I have a slight oil leak from behind the front sprocket. Is it a biggie to get that fixed?
    Yes HUGE job. The things stuffed, I'll give you a grand for it

    Oh hang on it's not road legal. Damn.

    But seriously probably just a leaky countershaft seal. Can be replaced by removing the sprocket and prying out the old seal then install the new one. First check that your sprocket nut is tight as they've been known to come loose.

    I find I'm traveling further and further, and unfortunately, the little 4 hundy just aint pretty on a 300km plus ride. Need 2 bikes, but have you seen the price of a rego lately.

    DRZ will be missed. Can't be beaten for short rides.

    Output shaft seal is apparently exclusive to Suzuki. Also check the clutch arm seal as these will leak also but these are available from most seal shops. Take the old one in as a sample or just the numbers off it if you need one.

    That oil leak is probably related to the o-ring inside the sprocket spacer that fits over the counter shaft.
    I normally order a new counter shaft seal, new spacer, and new o-ring. About $80 genuine parts. the spacer gets a groove cut in it by the seal, so fitting the new parts kills two possible leaks in one repair. also make sure your crankcase breather is clean.
    PS, i'm lurking in this thread because i secretly like the dog rooters.

    I bought her in November 2007 with 3000km on the clock.
    She now has about 18000km on the clock.

    I'm saving madly to get gravel ready tyres for my SM, which Nordie took a fantastic photo of last weekend!

    I'd love to have two, an E and an SM, but I should probably get this one paid off first...
