84 cb650sc usually has a little tic in front but on my way to work it was really loud hollow knocking sound. Didn't seem to do it in lower rpms so I road in fourth to get to where I needed to be. I stopped and put oil in it thinking that may help but nothing. Any info will be greatly appreciated

[Nighthawk Lovers] Oil is leaking from the rubber (half-circle) gaskets under the valve cover.

I once replaced them and they were an easy fit. Watching a squirrel slide down a Vaseline lathered bird feeder pole explains that. On Wed, Aug 14, 2019 at 5:12 AM 'nick.tamps...@btinternet.com' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! wrote: > 1996 CB750. > Does anyone know the dimensions of the O rings

1996 CB750. Does anyone know the dimensions of the O rings that fit on the fuel pipe T piece that locates between carbs 2 and 3. I replaced mine with 8 x 12 x 2mm rings. On assembly, I was expecting a tight push fit, but the T piece ( with Vaseline ) went in quite easily. -- You received this
