Got a 2017 V9 Bobber as my retirement gift from me to me. This is my 3rd season (short in Québec Canada) at 6000KM this is the 2nd differential oil leak . Last monday felt the back tire fish tailing but didn't make anything of it. This morning when I went to clean it for a longer ride I noticed the back tire oil splash and took it to my dealer in Sherbrooke . They will look into it but it will take more than a week and here every sunny warn day counts. Has anyone had this particular problem with a Brand new 2017 V9 Bobber ?

That's not right, did you check the level before handing it over to the dealer?

Possibility the breather on the drive box is blocked. If so the quick remedy is to run the bike until the drive is hot, then open the filler plug for a moment to release the pressure, then close it again.

Seriously don't need it spewing oil onto the tyre, that's not good. There are enough hazards out there as it is. |
