Hi guys....I'm posting on the forum in the hope someone will be able to help me with a serious dilemma.
For some time now, my partner, Lucy, and I, really haven't been getting on very well at all. She doesn't seem interested in me any more, and has become very short tempered with me. At times, it feels like she is finding excuses to argue and fall out with me. Whatsmore, she has been going out rather a lot, and is evasive when I ask where to, or who with. Her usual answer, is that she has been with friends that I don't know. She has aslo become very secretive with her computer, and phone, with texts arriving at all times of day and night. In the last couple of weeks, she has found an excuse to go out of the house just about every evening.....needless to say, i have become very suspicious, and as a result I decided to check up on her.
Unfortunately, I can't see the road from our house, so I haven't been able to see how she was getting home after an evening out. I wondered if she was using a taxi, or possibly being dropped off by a so called friend. On wednesday, I decided to hide in the garden, in order to get a glimpse of her ride home. I hid behind my bike waiting for her to return, and while I lay in wait pondering my future, I noticed some oil leaking from the cam cover just behind plug number three. So what I need to know....is this a simple fix I can make at home, or will I need to take the bike back to the dealer?

Re: Serious matter.
Have you checked to see if the cam cover bolts are properly tightened?

Re: Serious matter.
Just get a new gasket and replace the cover yourself. The satisfaction of fixing it yourself is a real good feeling. As far as the girl, dump her and move on.

Re: Serious matter.
What bike was that again? Could be just a loose cam cover or you might have to change the gasket. Any other problems we can help with?

Re: Serious matter.
Or better yet, get a two-stroke and not have a cam cover to worry about..... Also still dump the girl!
