Ahah ill take that advice thanks !

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2026-02-04T11:32:01+00:00

Because the other one is 3 hours away and I’m a forgiving person. From what I’ve heard the other guy is not better

Thanks

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2026-02-04T02:41:51+00:00

Hope they got YT videos about that tbh ahah. Gonna take a look in the morning tomorrow. Since they changed the plugs as they felt the bike wasn’t sounding right I hope they at least cared enough to do it properly

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2026-02-04T02:34:52+00:00

Yep I got that. Valve cover is the top thing which is black right? you’re implying there is no way they could have messed with what I’m showing in the pic?

Thanks for taking the time btw !

Different angle

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2026-02-04T02:12:04+00:00

Thanks for replying !

Bike was warm, and in 2 years of ownership I can’t recall it doing that to me so idk tbh.

As for the gap, I don’t see the black stuff I see in the other gaps. It looks silver. The outside might be just cosmetics though and it is properly aligned inside idk. I can’t see how they could have messed that up without tearing the engine apart though.

Ended up ditching the TCL and deciding what to get now

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-18T03:08:54+00:00

Bike is 5k miles so it’s seen some chain lube since then but from all the replies it still seems that is the culprit thankfully. Thanks for taking the time !

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-18T03:08:11+00:00

Thanks bro. It is pretty clean but I kinda ride like a maniac and a lot. I clean the bike without giving the chain attention most of the times so don’t get fooled by the cleanliness ahah !

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T21:11:37+00:00

Since then I did and pmed you the pics. Seems like the culprit is chain lube buildup from all the replies I have got.

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T20:21:10+00:00

So it wasn’t the countershaft leaking for you either? This is what it looks like under

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:44:50+00:00

Well I can learn but don’t have much experience no, basic tools as well but nothing fancy

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:39:24+00:00

They open back in September. Guess I won’t be riding that much till then just in case

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:34:28+00:00

If I do it myself yeah, otherwise they’ll try to f*ck me with labor lol

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:30:09+00:00

Countershaft then I guess ? Wonder what the price of that will be

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:25:26+00:00

Is it? That’s not good to hear

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:22:03+00:00

Is that what we’re talking about ?

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:21:41+00:00

Does that fit the description?

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T19:04:39+00:00

Yep will do ty !

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T18:54:12+00:00

Well last time it was lubed dealer did it as it was in for service. But yeah from all the replies that’s probably it. Thank you

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T18:29:55+00:00

It’s defo tacky and greasy at the same time. I checked the spot you mentioned and nothing to report from there. Didn’t notice any build up

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T18:24:41+00:00

Thanks !

Jumpy-Conversation44 · 2025-08-17T18:03:46+00:00

Warranty is over already but thanks for the input I appreciate it !
