Had an annoying primary gasket leak after replacing the primary cover. Reseated the same gasket and made sure the mating surfaces were as clean as possible, seems to be holding for now.

If you ever reuse gaskets you should at least copper coat them permatex makes it..

I've read on here other people reusing the gasket and now it's leaking in a new place, just can't win. Might have to give that copper coat a try before I get a new gasket or primary cover.

I finally had time to do a little riding this weekend. I rode over to Jefferson Texas and stopped in at the local beer joint to have a cold one. I met a nice couple there when I was leaving. The gentleman was retired and had owned every kind of bike from Harleys, BMW,s to Gold Wings. The wife insisted on a picture.

Took my wheel back off as Cycle Gear either didn't get the bead to set on my tire or valve stem isn't set right as I rode 600 miles and it's flat. Filled it up to 40psi and with in a day it was flat again.

That's a **** sandwich! I didn't even know they did tires. I just buy helmets from them now and again.

They do. You have to remove your wheel from the bike and if you buy the tire from them, it's $25 for mount/balance. If you buy the tire somewhere else, it's $50.

I should have known better when the guy was like if you go chill in your car, I can knock this out really quick for you (as I was killing time waiting by just browsing the store)

I've had them do tires for me a couple of times, but also ended up being disappointed with their work. They had the same attitude here as well. I ended up finding an indy who game me the same deal as them. Good luck with it.
