98FXDL Primary Questions
this is strange. I bought this bike with near 70K on the clock, got it running and the primary chain was rattling in the case. tore it down, chain was stretched to the max along with the adjuster worn out. replaced these items, new gaskets, put new oil in the primary. 100 miles down the road, chain starts making noise, oil on the drive belt and rear wheel, (it was oil soaked when I bought it also but primary drain was loose and I thought this was the source of the oil spray) no oil in the primary. Guessing (from reading forums threads) the trans output shaft seal is toast. Question is, I've heard of blocking engine oil/primary oiling with plugs and running seperate oil in just the primary. How do i do this? Thanks!
