Hi

Just brought a Millie before x mas and the problems have started. The biggest problem is the oil leak from the oil tank. It looks like some one has tried to mig weld it before but it coming out still. It must be a small hole cause I can't see it. I have covered welded area in proxi resin in the hope it will hold. Has anyone tried this approach and did it work.

Also I disconnected the battery to charge and lost the mileage (04 model) is there any way of retrieving the old milage.

Last problem is getting it in neutral. Is it normally a b**ch or have I got a problem

Cheers
Leigh
 
if it leaks buy new oil tank
the mileage is a bug of the 04 model i think
the neutral is quite usual on any bike. i personally have the neutral finding problem only when cold. but she is italian you need to know how to handle her lol
 
The odo resetting to zero is commonplace and once gone it's lost forever I'm afraid - just have the old mot's to prove mileage if you have them still. Neutral is one of the most common complaints on these bikes. Mine was impossible to find but my mechanic is an Ape nut and bled the clutch and it now selects N when I want it to about 4/5 times
 
deff get another oil tank unless yer brill at welding. My 03 lost at least 3/4000 mls when I changed the clock glass once, trouble is you can't remember the exact mileage ever!
