Tenere 34L. worn kickstart shaft
Hi All,
Whilst window shopping on ebay the romance of old 80's thumpers got me. I spotted a 34L tenere and a short trip and a bit of cash later I now have a tenere sat next to my elefant.
I had on of these tenere's about 10 years ago and just didn't realise what a good bike it was at the time. I wish I had not sold it from my hospitol bed in NDB. ahh the wisdom of hindsight...
My 'new' one is a UK bike and is not bad for 24 yrs old. one thing that does bother me is the kickstart - the shaft is worn where it goes through the clutch cover and the hole in the cover is worn as well. there is about 1mm or 2mm play. some sand or something must have got past the seal and ground away the metal every time it was kicked over.
anyone else had this problem?
any clever fixes?
apart from the oil seep will it do any harm?
cheers
