I just recently picked up an 86' 454 from a friend. Everything seemed to be in good condition, but as I've ridden it more I've noticed a some issues.
1: The speedometer doesn't seem to be gauging? As I was practicing I noticed my speedometer was not rising, I was well into 2nd and figured this was a bad thing as soon as I caught it. I followed the cable down to the front of the bike and it seemed to be well attached. Is this a common issues? If so, is it easy to repair or will it require a full replacement?
2: I noticed a small leak of motor oil coming from the bike. I was considering getting oil changed since I picked it up used, but as I saw the leak I considered getting this fixed before the change. Is this possible to be patched or would the tank have to be replaced?
Again, I am completely new to owning a bike and to this page, apologize in advanced if this post is formated weirdly. All help and advice is majorly appreciated!
