i have a couple of the kawasaki V-Twins and they have some oil seapage from the valve covers and the valve adjustment covers ... the oil runs down the heads and lays ware the head gasket is and looks like its leaking at the head gaskets ... i just cleaned 1 of mine with a power washer and engine de-greaser and then started it up afterwards and didnt see any leaks ... let it run for about an hour (riding around the yard and idleing ) and then found the leak at 1 of the valve adjustment covers .. replaced the O-ring there and no more leak... i have owned several of the V-twin kows and that is ware they usually always leak.. try what i did and see if that i ware its coming from .. most likely will be ..

      I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
      So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem. 
      Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      I hadn't driven my Kodiak for a two months, and since it was low on fuel, the first thing I did was filled it up to maybe 7/8 full. Getting ready to start it, I rotated the fuel selector switch to "on" and within seconds I smelled and saw fuel dripping onto the floor. I quickly turned it off and the fuel gradually stopped - I can repeat this.
      The fuel is flowing from the hose that is connected to the bottom of the carb, and routes around to the left side toward the wheel well. Any idea what's going on here? It ran fine the last time I had it out.
      Thanks...
