Great word. I am going to get fettled at my BBQ Saturday night.
So, how much sand did you have to remove from your casting?

There once was a lady named Gretl
Whose metal DY tried to fettle
Tho turned on a lathe
She escaped quite unscathed
and it really tested his mettle.
Alternate lines welcome; grand prize is 15 seconds of fame, second prize is 30 seconds...
So if I get fettled with a single malt lubricant with my girlfriend named Gretel and I fettle my o-ring boss while needing to hansel my metal because it seems silly to fettle and hansel for hours for a teeny, weeny leak that I could use my time better to goose a lady named Gretel or ride fukingruvin with Gretel, will me leak go away?
Sorry, no.
You still have to clean the oil off the O-ring and seat, then put it back dry, like I said last week.

I had a friend named Gretel
Whose gift put her in fine fettle
She was given a purse
From a very nice nurse
Who hanseled it with coin metal.
Hansel - Another Scottish word
Although made of precious metal, Zettle knew the kettle would never fettle Gretle's nettle.....
This may sound like I am losing my mind, I might be a bit.
My oil filler cap leaks as does those on a few friends' bikes. No big deal??? They are old bikes, replace the o-ring???
The o-ring is not a standard metric or SAE and not a rubber house here can come close. Cool, OE dealer, 7 weeks away, need to buy the bottom o-ring, anchor, filler o-ring but the cap is re-usable. $79.00 CDN to quit losing a drop of oil once a day. Not feeling warm and fuzzy about this one (stayed tuned on the not warm and fuzzy about my $140.00 plug wire I ordered in June from the same dealer)
I sometimes think I am smarterer than I really am and thought, wait for it, "farkles, there are tons for this bike!"
I saw some filler caps that were really cute and some that needed keys. Really? You need a key for your oil filler cap? Where do you need to live for that to be a good choice?
Sorry, losing it a bit, just answered my own question. 350 mile north of me, a locking oil filler plug would prevent you from having to buy it back from the local that stole it and wants to sell it back to you for a case of fire water.
Really though, mine, three of my buddies, same/same 1100 engines, all leak a bit. Is there an option out there that doesn't require a ton of coin or carrying a key to add oil?
Mine is a 2004 R1150RT, so it's not exactly the same, but mine started fizzling oil from the cap at around 35K. Replaced rubber washer. Didn't work. Replaced cap. Didn't work. Replaced bottom part. Didn't work. It's almost quit now, at almost 65K, but it wasn't because of anything I did or replaced. It still fizzles, don't get me wrong, but not like it used to.
This is what I have used with no problems since.
