Lower rocker cover gasket in the front head started leaking oil. I noticed a few drops on the garage floor at first. Then I took a closer look and notice that one of the bolts that holds on the upper stabalizer link was missing. I couldn't believe my eyes. So I loosened the other stabalizer link bolt and cleaned up all the oil in the gasket area and on the cooling vents in front. Then I went to the store and bought two replacement bolts and torqued them down to 55ft lbs specs. Took the bike to work today and then came home and noticed oil still sneaking its way through the lower rocker cover gasket again. Called dealer and explained all of this. The dealer said the gasket was normal wear and tear item and it would cost me. I told him that it was a new bike of only 10 months old. Hung up with that dealer...called another one and they said it is a warranty issue and they will pickup the bike for 40bucks and fix it. DEAL!!!

Moral of the story...I am not sure...but you can get what you want out of this experience.

Now back your regularly scheduled program....

 

good to know info for sure... good thing there is 2 dealer near by here in case i have any issues
