    Oil leak, but the crack appears at the gear shift lever??? I'm totally confused. Can you post some pics or make a detailed write-up pls? I'd like to understand before commenting anything.

    (I am using my oil pump with my PWK flatslide and it performs much better compared to the time i was using premix initially)

    Cheers!

    Got too many things to attend at the same time. So RX is in the priority list to be attended but it is not the first.

    I will again inspect the bike for any future requirements. Apart from Oil leakage, she is doing a good job taking me around without issues.

    Sriram, if you want to use the oil pump, then replace it with a new one. No point in playing around with a 12yr old pump. Also, try to get another spare pump for future use.

    Its not only the pump, but certain critical items like Manifold, Reedvalve, clutch bell assembly, Jet kit, crank shaft etc should be kept as spare if you intend to keep RX for life.

    Have you been busy these days? Not heard from you for a while.

    lol, i am with aargee on this one.. Old school believed in the holy art of mixing the oil with the fuel and maybe putting a damn mixie blade in the tank running to make sure it stayed mixed... hehe...

    Get a new pump, and give your baby an extended lease of life.

    Dumping oil pump is old school brain; most of the 2S that came after 70's had oil pump. So ppl suggesting to dump oil pump belong to old school

    @Aargee: Thanks for coming early in the morning and spending time with my bike. My bike's problem has opened doors for education. Will plan to meet up sometime again.

    ^^ @JD - Checked a little today, but couldn't really find out where it is coming from; we couldn't really spend time as there was something else that took priority. We're planning to work on this sometimes during one of the weekends this month or next. So when we work, pls expect a call from us (includes Bigbore & psycho)

    mate. go get a new oil pump. even if you replace the seals etc, its a 12 yr pump ( i dont know the history ) and the aluminium parts inside do get worn out. Dont let this be the Achilles heel of the whole story. Plonk in a new pump and be good to go as new.
