Drip, drip

Even though we are in the midst of winter, I start up the bike every few weeks. On one of the last start ups, noticed a small drip of oil by the clutch cylinder - a known issue with these bikes. Given it hasn't happened in the 11 years, not a surprise. Took it in to the shop where I was expecting a hefty bill, but it was essentially a 5 min job. The cylinder still looked ok - the seals on the shaft that runs through the engine to the clutch cylinder seemed to be leaking - so a quick replacement of the seals and so far (and keeping fingers crossed) no signs of oil. Cost $10. :)
