Well, we absolutely have to get this delivered tomorrow.

Oil is really selling well this year ♪ Seriously
The waste oil container fills up so fast ★
Fresh blood on hand ☆
While changing the oil and spinning the rear, we hear “clunk clunk”
So what’s that sound?
It’s the drive sprocket nut that’s come loose, making that clunk clunk sound
“Even on newer bikes, this happens pretty often!”
The countershaft experiences repeated cycles of power being applied and released, so it loosens easily—we handle it with lock nuts and lock washers.
The lock washer isn’t broken, so it may have just loosened a bit.
After tightening it, the sound disappeared ★
The steering was heavy when pushing, so we added air and adjusted it—perfect ★
On oil-cooled bikes, there are gaskets in the M6 holes on both side covers and the clutch cover.
Surprisingly, these washers often harden and cause leaks.
We replace them with copper gaskets ★
