Well leak s fixed and not leaking. But I have a starting issue now and it started last year. When I adusted the clutch and removed the primary cover. I also removed the starter when I replaced the oil reservoir with new lines.
The starter I put back and always had issues starting after. So now when I start it, it will now crank for a sec then bog like it disengages then re engages for a bit then stops again. It just sounds like a bad starter but could it be misadjusted.
How can I check to tell if ita adjusted properly?
Especially that small 8mm bolt that goes in the front of the starter?
Is it just a starter faulty?
Also I had a jump box on the bike to help the bike crank over. So it can't be the battery depleted.
Any other checks I can do?

well with the battery charged up and the jump box on it, it still dont start
Its 12.7+ on the batt and checked to the starter and it has the same voltage there.
But when I try to start it with or with out the jump box it will literally make my DVOM go from 12.7 to less than 5 volts instantly and my headlight will dim to nothing. Bike will not start at all and literally sounds like a truly dead battery. But I figure with the jump box it would start atleast.
I will try my jump box on my other bike since its also dead and see what happens there!
ANy other checks I can do?
Is there a way to check the starter for output draw.

LMFAO, well I charged up the battery and I knew it had to be the starter giving me issues. So I tore off the starter cable from the battery and cleaned it up real good and removed the solenoid cover. I took a pic of the brushes and found lots of dirt/debris/**** inside it. SO I sanded the brushes and cleaned everything in there with a blow gun.
PUt it back together and fired up the bike. STARTED right up like it was brand new.
Cover dont leak anymore and now I have a primary cover gasket leak that I have to chase. BUt its been leaking for years and I think its just a gasket.
But I will get some brushes to replace another day.
I test drove it and man did it feel good to ride again.
ITs been 7 months since i was on that badboy
Thanks to Andy and others.

Thanks andy. Ya it did well for a day then I lost clutch.
So I just adjusted again via primary housing and the cable.
My ? Is though do u guys fully depress your shift lever or only depress half way when shifting and or sitting in first at a light.
