Ya, it’s JIS. Thought I’d push some buttons. 

The screw was staked at the factory and you can see it hasn’t moved.  I thought it would be too good to be true.  So I’ll get the gasket and ride it a bit more maybe, to try a get a definitive diagnosis.  But I’m pretty sure I’m looking for a transmission or parts there of.

  I’m assuming you mean Ohillips head rather than cross head Ross?
  Your entire motorcycle is fastened together with JIS head screwdriver heads. I strongly suggest getting all 3 different sized heads at Princess  Auto. You may need to buy a multi head tip mini box.

   Vessel JIS screwdrivers are the best made .

That would be JIS crosshead?  I use impact screwdrivers if they are tight.

Having occasionally had similar situation arise, I was advised to push it over a cliff and declare it stolen.

  Yeah surgery May 28th.
 I’m still dog sitting in Aldergrove till Friday night. I recon I’ll check that place out Saturday. Unless you give everyone the heads up that it’s a waste of time!!

Thanks Steve.  Might go check it out tomorrow.  Btw, when is your surgery?  Near the end of the month, no?

So having the gasket on order, I decided to open up the transmission cover.  Mine is a #3 cross head not Allen head.  Tight as can be.  Dang.  Now I’m thinking the worst.  Splitting cases and sourcing transmissions/parts.

Left side transmission/shifter cover gasket ordered.  Hopefully it will be here end of next week.
