Title: New Bike, Possibly annoying question
Post by VCALV on 06/30/09 at 19:13:53

Hello, I am the proud owner of an '87 Savage, I love the bike but it seems to have the notorious plug cap leak. I do not have the time to work on it myself or the funds to find a reliable mechanic. I know that simple solutions "for lazy people" are often frowned upon. and their effectiveness is debatable, but I am wondering if any of the "Stop Leak" liquids that you see in auto stores might be worth a try. When I asked about Seafoam for my other bike, I got a bunch of negative replies, but I tried it and it actually worked. Thank you all for your input.

No, stopleak will do no good for that particular leak.

Read this thread and you should see why http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1099227295

VC,

Your bike's clutch is bathed in the engine's crankcase oil. I would not add anything to the oil, as it may play hell on the clutch.

IHTH!
