So I take the Hondapotumus out for a ride. I pull up at my buddy's house to meet up, and his eyes bug out at the sight of me dumping oil all over his driveway...
WTF!!!!
Its pouring out from the stator cover!!!
So I check the oil level and I have enough to blast back home, so off I go.
I get home, and pull off the stator cover, its full.
So I kick it over, and hear a "wheezing" sound coming from behind the flywheel.
Its Sunday, its late.. I call Cycle City, Cycle Gear, Champion Honda, Mission Motorsports.... no one is open to sell me a flywheel puller for this thing..
x 650
So I go into " Nig-gyver" mode at Pep Boys and Auto Zone.
I find a drain plug for some kind of Accura piece of shit. Its 20mm x 1.5 pitch. PERFECT
I put a dab of grease on the end of it and my flywheel is jacked right off is two seconds, with a $1.99 drain plug
I crank it again, and see oil burbling from the seal
I do the ol' "drywall screw seal puller trick" ( My boy is blown away by this....)
and what do I find?
That spring thingy has unscrewed itself, and lost the ability to hold the seal lip onto the crank surface
New seal was $7. Rode 20 miles last night... its all good.
Weird , huh?
BRP goes down....
