Hi all,
New owner of a 2000 with 52,000 miles.
This morning while warming her up just prior to heading off to work, I noticed some smoke coming from the left side down by the shifter. The smoke would puff and appear heavier at times and go away altogether at times. Later in the day noticed a little, not as much. Then on the way home from work, none at all.
After parking her in the garage and putting up on the center stand, noticed some small drops of oil under the bike. Can't quite tell where they are coming from but it looks like it's behind the shifter someplace. Maybe the water pump? Not sure.
Can anybody with some knowledge give me some ideas? Where to look? Is this possibly an easy fix for a non-wrench type person or do I need to seek some professional help? I know I probably need some professional help of another sort but that's for another thread. Thanks in advance.
