Sometimes, if bike is without driving long time, happens, that clutch plates stick together(corrosion little) and then clutch need use, or open/take all parts away and package again..... Anyway i would open it and see condition. Easy job! :thumbup:

Btw, WHERE in Poland You live ???

I`m a newbie if it comes to mechanics stuff ;) but I keep learning ;)

As for now I live in Cracow (south Poland) but in 3 months I`m moving into
Russia so I`ll have to leave my Paso, as taking it into this wild (but beautiful
and amazing as well) country would end changing the owner ;p

and you? maybe north-east Finnland? :)

I drove from Bialystok, Lublin, Rehzow, to Ukraina border 25.june and when i came back 14.july, i drove via Bielsko Biela, passing Warsaw east side and then to Bialystok again... So, i was very close to You some weeks ago. :thumbup:

I live in south/east part of Finland and only 330kms to St.Petersburg...luckily Fin side of border!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I`m still not able to check oil level, moreover I have noticed twice that
there`s some oil on the ground (like it has drained)

I tightened the oil draine screw, but anyway... how can I check the oil level?
maybe I could replace oil window??

I think here somewhere was good article long time ago about options for that oil window, so let someone, like G-man help You to find it from these sites. He have time to play with his computer alot.... :wink:

About girls, i think best looking are in "eastern / southern Europe" :mrgreen:

I think you need to look at te water pump seal anbd shaft. nothing expensive. just a seal probably. Maybe put the bike on the centre stand after fixing tghe seal, run the motor with cheap oil to flush out the water, then refill with correct oil. If milky, either look into impeller seal problem or at least change oil again after fixing seal

You won't get milky oil unless your water pump seal leaks into your motor. FACT!

I`ve taken off the oil glass and try to clean it, but believe me - it`s impossible
I was scratching the window from inside - with no results.

I have found one on ebay
