I noted some oil seepage out of the tach drive block off plate on my post flight inspection after a pretty vigorous new shock evaluation ride the other day. I hate leaks.

There was little to no resistance upon removal. I cleaned everything good and found a suitable John Deere o-ring out of a seal kit and gave everything a nice coat of case sealant for good measure.

I noted considerable resistance while reinstalling the block off plate and a little bead of sealant oozed out around the edges. That should do it.

85 miles of 2 stroke debauchery today. I am pleased to report the tach drive block off plate dry as a bone.
I'm not sure 85 miles is enough to truly determine the success of your repair; perhaps you should consider another 85!
After the heat wave we are currently experiencing here in Northern Virginia. :bacon:
its stupid hot this week. glad you got it sorted
Me too. Thanks Mark.
just ran across this one, do you still run a tach? which one, and where do you get the signal from? tia
I am running a Daytona Velona electronic multi-function instrument. The tach signal is picked up from the positive side of the coil.
See the install here.

i run the same gauge but tach is the center display, speed the outer ring. its a really solid unit
