Is the oil in your engine emulsified? (creamy substance in the oil or around the oil filler) If so then it would seem as if you may have a leaking head gasket, or cylinder base gasket.

Older 4 speed transmissions were known for their "clunk" going into 1st gear.
However, even though you didn't give a model year, I'll assume you mean something newer than those.
If it "grabs" when going from neutral to 1st (bike wants to "jump"), it usually means the clutch push rod (under the primary cover's "Derby cover) needs adjustment, followed by the clutch cable.
As far as the leak where the cable enters the transmission, there is an "o-ring" seal that might need replacing.
Sounds like the O-ring at the starter motor was damage during install. Take it back and have them put a new O-ring in properly. On many bike engines the starter and alternator penetrate into the oil filled gear box.
I had the same prob with my bike heres what i did.. I took the cluch all apart soaked all the clutch plates in oil. Than i ordered new clutch springs from <Motosport.com.> Than put all back togeather and rebled the clutch and it work like a top.. HOPE THIS HELPS..
not sure bout that bike specificaly, probly there is a spring on the gearshift shaft , or something to return the lever and shift drum back whenever actuated. no matter what it is, you gotta split the cases to fix it .
isn't that a two-stroke? pull the jug off and check the piston/bore...if you can do that you're okay...Otherwise, call "Lazarus" at GT Thunder in Millersburg, FL and ask NICELY what to do. P.S. he's a BUSY man be NICE to him!
I had a complete set of new seals installed last fiday and the pump appeared to be nice and dry? While sitting at the starting line for the district 37 grand prix last Saturday with the bike idling I looked down and fluid started spitting out of the weep hole??
I turned off the motor and it eventually stopped leaking.
I went ahead and raced and it leaked a small amount more
throughout the day??? Any ideas?? other than maybe it was a bad seal? or a bad installation from my local shop??probably right. The stock o-rings KTM sells for the carrier are 2-3 sizes smaller than they should be. I bought a bag of the corect (IMHO) o-rings. When you stretch an o-ring it gets thinner the further you stretch it the thinner it gets until it breaks. Since the o-ring is stretched thinner on the carrier it is not compressed properly it looses some of it sealing surface and can't hold the pressure as well. I think this is the reason most of the newly replaces water pump seals leak. That's why it will start leaking as the motor heats up and will continue to leak until the motor cools off and the pressure is gone from the cooling system. To test this warm the motor up and note how long it takes before the coolant starts leaking. Let the bike cool and then remove the radiator cap and warm the engine up if there's no leak then the o-rings are probably bad if it starts leaking then the seals are more likely the problem.,,,
