Oil leaks and other engine problems! 
Mark said 2011-05-06 15:14 
 
Hi guys, are there any mechanics who can give some advice on my XT?
I bought the bike 2 years ago and started misbehaving recently.
Oil leaks from every seal, which i replaced 1 by 1. Flat spot at 5000rpm. Decided to remove the motor and overhaul. Is crank shaft end float normal? Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Mark.
