Re: [ST] Oil leak question
Just had my bike in for the 6k service and sure enough they discovered that the
seal on the output shaft is leaking. They have ordered a new part and it is
covered under warranty. I have never owned a vehicle that didn't leak at
least some oil so I nver really though much of it. I also parked it where
I parked my old bike so it was hard to blame one or the other. It is like
having 2 dogs and coming home to find a mess on the rug. Unless they are
drastically different sizes you can't really blame either one.
If only I could tell synthetic oil spots from non synthetic.

My old sig was about Vaxen and VMS but I can't even figure out
the name of the company that owns them anymore.
