My 08 has oil leak that neither I or dealer can find, coming from right rear of engine, ending up dripping off right swing arm brace.
Can be right side engine case cover, possible pores in crankcase castings or the vertical joint on the crankcase pieces. OR?
Any one else had this trouble? Air box is dry. Top of engine appears to be dry.
Right now I have business meeting 100 miles away and am going to ride it to see if the leak becomes more easy to trace.
Removing engine and replacing cases does not appeal to me as there is lost time and the possibility of things never being right again.
I make my bike my prime transport and am thinking of another new bike-----I am cooling on Yamaha TMAX as there is wind problem and no ABS. Deal Dealer made is good but I need to think of my comfort and safety. I don't have to walk---I have Miata that is too nice for daily use and new BMW coupe that I hate. You have to carry instruction book to figure it out. No dip stick, spare or jack.
