Am I missing something? How could gas get in gear box?
1)You go to the gas station and fill up a 10 gallon gas can. You fill your roadster tank right to the brim, then you allow your sticking floats to let the entire tank of fuel to run down the intake and fill up the cylinder washing it clean and filling the crankcase with fuel.
2)Then you kick the bike over a few times trying to start the bike, blowing the crankshaft seal right out of it's seat. You scratch your head and check the fuel tank to find it's empty of fuel. You deduce that the bike didn't start because it was out of fuel, so you fill the tank right to the brim again, and start the cycle over again, helping the fuel towards it's final destination,... the gearbox.
3)It's going to take a lot of fuel to fill both the crankcase and the primary case up enough to have fuel migrate down the clutch rod cavity and begin to fill the gearbox, but it IS possible if you were too cheap to buy a dynodave clutchrod seal, AND you refill the fuel tank 3 more times, which let it drain into to crankcase...
... sounds possible? right??
