leaking final drive update

Just got back from a ride over the mountains to Monterey for their Maple Festival. Rode two up with my wife and rode it pretty hard there and back. (in some rain I might add) ----No leaks from the vent or anywhere else I might add. I was a little nervous about it I admit and looking at the drive uni...

Leaking rear drive

I submitted a post last weekend concerning my final drive leaking on my 03 r. Hopefully I have figured out the problem and wanted to make you guys and gals aware of what possibly was going on so you don't have the same problem. I had the rear seal replace under warranty in Dec 05. I am making a gues...

leaking differential

Thanks for the reply-- I have checked it twice since last weekend and all seems to be ok for now. Although I haven't riden it hard since last saturday. Just seems strange to me. I drained and filled last summer with synthetic at around 15k and had no leak prior to or after the change until my dealer...

Differential leaking

4 months ago I noticed a very slight leak in the differential. Took it in for last minute warranty repairs (ran out in Jan) Dealer installed a new seal and I thought all was well.

Planning a trip

Amazing!! (Well, not really I guess)

A guy would post a similar question and he will get maybe 1 page of replies.

Now when a lady does the same she gets 3 pages or more!

As it should be.

Battery Drain

DHammer I have an 03 and have never experienced nor heard of this type of problem on this board. I would make a suggestion(s): If under warranty I would take it to your dealer. If that is not the case or you want to tackle it yourself I would start by taking an amp-meter and put it in series with th...

GS hand guards

I have the GS hand guards and Moto-Techniques bar backs on my 03 R. Have had bar backs for nearly 3 yrs and 2 yrs for the hand guards. Both I love. The guards I would not do without and run them all year. I guess I could take them off in the summer but what the heck. The guards are a life saver in t...

Tire changing

I would be interested to know how you changed your own tires (and balance) I have seen something some months ago on the same but would like to hear how you did it.
