this is just an example image to show where the leak is, my bike is not this clean or nice looking.
there's a couple of other things that bother me too, the throttle twist grip is held in place by a phillips head screw that likes to sometimes rip itself out if I lean too hard to one side. would it be alright to just drill a larger hole into the handlebars and replace it with a proper bolt?
more serious is that the seals on the engine may well be going, according to a mechanic I took it to I have air leaks into the engine. He adjusted it to rev lower, and it will pass an MOT (once I have sorted some other things on it) but once I have the dosh I really need to look at replacing this engine or repairing the crank seals and maybe bearings too.
Anyway all problems aside it it's a great bike and I can't wait to get riding on it!

Cheers much,
-Luke.
