So i planned on a ride this weekend and decided to do a leak test..I'm losing about 3lbs in five minutes.the leak is so small i can't seem to find it any where..maybe crank seal? It's such a small leak..so question is should i be ok for a ride.i will only be riding for no more than two hours.. thanx in advance..then I'll come back and try to find it again..

i've never had one stay at 7 lbs. for 10 minutes, but that may have been them old sewer pipe leaktesters with 35 reducers per fitting ?

your prob ok. but test it again pump the motor to 7 psi an spray everything down with soapy water, if you have any leak even a very small one you WILL find it with soapy water.
as long as it isnt crank seals or case halfs leaking

Yeah i did soapy water test sprayed everything. I was all up in that motor, my neighbor must have thought i was a weirdo . All seemed ok.. pumped it up had a beer checked it and only drops a tiny bit.. I was just concerned because last time i did 12 psi and it didn't drop at all.. that was last year though.. Thanks guys.. I should be good to go..
i had an issue dropping psi slow, turned out it was the bicycle pump, i left it connected after pumping up, once i took it off after pumping, the psi stayed solid for a long time
