They ALL leak oil from that crank seal!!

Shocks? No worries as you will be putting on new ones, may as well do the gaiters at that time.

Exhausts are pretty cheap on Ebay, easy to fit too. Why not get a Cherry Bomb as well?

Sounds like a normal Suzuki.

Apart from you dont have a leaking rocker cover gasket. Pretty much every one I've owned leaked from there.

I found that out! Was stressing about it until Scottie told me to man up!

That doesn't sound like too much of a list, just "upgrade" as you break, that's what I'm doing!
