aghast cleaning new 09 eglide standard and have found an oil seep or more like a stain on the bottom of barrel front cyl
just clocked over 1000 kays
any one else heard of this problem or am i just the lucky one?
Good point RT
mmm... seems i also have a oil leak...my leak is at the bottom of my crankcase where the 2 half's are sealed together on my 09 rocker...lucky me only 800 km on clock...i degreased the area and went for a 100km run...re-checked and yep its leaking...i will contact dealer about re-sealing the engine crankcase..just what i dont need from a newbike..
I had a few stains on mine from new and all is fine, worry about it if you see oil running down the side of the case. Or if you are really worried I will buy it from you for $20,000 and save you worrying.
Its more than a stain...it forms a droplet of oil just sitting in the garage on its stand after i have riden it...I am very fussy with my toys and a oil leaking engine in a new bike is just not acceptable to me...I would pull the engine out and fix it myself tomorrow if it wasn't covered by warranty... I hate oil leaks..... its nothing a $30.00 tube of Dirko sealent & a few gaskets can't fix .... a bit of labour & all is good.
