What needs replaced to keep this from leaking?

Is there a gasket that goes between the engine and clutch housing?

Some of the nuts are so rusty that the stud came out of the engine. Should I replace them or just screw them back in?

Thanks for your help.

Bellows on the clutch lever,
Oilseal behind the flywheel
& 8 NEW studs + Nuts unless the old ones will not come out easily.

$30 clutch lever boot - common failure over time. PITA to replace as the swing arm needs to be removed.

I don't worry about it when the studs come out - I just put them back in.

If you still have a stotck exhaust, check/tighten the header flange bolts everytime you change oil. If they get loose then the welds at the exhaust cllector can fail - and often do.

I'm in the middle of a spline lube so the swing arm is on it's way out.

I would get new studs for the ones that came out. Clean hole with tap and degreaser - install with locktite. Use anti-seize on threads before installing nuts.

Also replace the two rubber hangers on exhaust system (notice how heavy that assembly is) - and make sure no old exhaust gaskets are stuck on head.

Be careful if you are using an "Armstrong" torque wrench - aluminum gives up eaisly.

When I removed the drain plugs from the final drive and the transmission they had a lot of very fine metal shavings on them. Is this normal or should I break everything down to get a good look?

That's normal. When you see chunks, start to worry.

I noticed in that pic that you jacked up your bike by the bellhousing -a.k.a. intermediate housing. You're better off putting a board under the oil sump. Trust me.

The sump cover is off. The bike is on it's center stand right now, but I have it hanging by a chain come-a-long.
