Confirmed bad seal at the drive gear... Did I put that seal in backwards? [ATTACH]

So ended up picking one up and wow they are super light ~2 lbs. XV also required a new reg/rec as the PO stated it was not charging which I...
So another sensor of a non-Atari bike will do?
It does, though I think my oil level sensor is stuck as it's reading 0 ohms so the light stays on. Something to look into next oil change

Noted. Not going that route now since full headlight functionality will be good with a fresh battery
Yup did that (page 5), as it was a early suspicion of mine that they needed to be replaced. I'll check for a leak though with some carb spray.

My headlight has a set of LED DRL's which I will keep on all the time, BUT if I find the battery is just bad a switch may not be needed. Voltage...
