Just for the heck of it Kev, what is the serial # stamped into the bottom of your differential? Look for the shiny milled flat, easy to see once you stand on your head. Ha Ha. Thanks folks, I will do my best to contact Sloan's today. Please stay tuned.Sarah
Whether you have warranty or not, I hope you get it fixed and running and enjoy the ride.If you enjoy the bike, if you're ridinging it in the end, no big deal.
I talked with Sloan's yesterday and they've asked for the bike, so we''ll head down this morning. Thanks again everybody, I'll keep you posted.Sarah
Couldn't have asked for better treatment at Sloan's. Jason plugged our VIN # into the system and confirmed the warranty ran out last month, just our luck, but we knew that going in. He took down all the details and noted that it appeared to be another instance of a well-known issue, and accepted a copy of notes I'd made from researching the forums. We'll see. Thanks again, everybody.Sarah
OK, got the bike back from Sloan's yesterday. They determined the oil was from the transmission vent and not the final drive. The tech said the transmission specifies 500cc of fluid, and he drained 1000cc from ours, so grossly over-filled. He said he rode it 50 miles since correcting the fluid level and could not detect a leak anywhere. Doug aims to put miles on it today if the weather will cooperate. Stay tuned.Sarah
Thanks, everybody. And look out blu guzz, you might find us on your doorstep one of these days. I'll have to say we can't help but be skeptical of the diagnosis, but we're blaming it on paranoia. The sunburst of oil all over the rim and tire looked exactly like the pictures posted in the final drive leak threads, so we didn't investigate further, already feeling doomed as our diff. serial # fell within the range. The tech said he cleaned the bike, sprayed it with powder and went for a ride, saw a leak coming from the transmission vent and no where else. He removed the vent and found it completely gunked, so he cleaned it, added the proper amount of fluid and no further leaks. We are beyond hopeful, and I'll follow up later today. Thanks again.Sarah
Good news Greer, glad it turned out that way.Wondering if a thread title change might be in order? What with the hundreds of new V9 owners coming on board, rumors may get started!
