Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | It suddenly failed to start in April '01. Turned out to be a crack/tear in the gasket/boot where carb connects to the manifold. Developed an oil leak @ bottom of rearmost rocker tube. Spewing oil out the breather [turns out the oil was from the tranny (overfilled or over flow of engine oil). Problem corrected]. Replacement shock started leaking after 7K miles. New shock installed. Blown rocker box gasket(s) - rear in 2002; front in 2003. Many... too many broken front & rear muffler straps (Daytona BOSS muffler) |
