I would take it back to the dealer. Could be the oil filter cover or drain plugs. I would bet on it being an error on the part of the mechanic.
Before you do that, take a look underneath the bike. It could really be from an over filled sump blowing out the airbox, or something minor.And, although it is not relevant here, remember that joke played on other riders. You would stop for coffee, and while everyone is inside someone would pour a little oil underneath a guy's bike.Point it out later, and he'd be horrified.
Why jump to the conclusion the dealer is the cause? Finding the source should take just a little effort on your part, then go from there.Maybe your V7 doesn't like being called Lucy and referred to as "she".Just be sure to report it as a leak or drip and not a tinkle.
Tech may have spilled a bit. Also, the washer for the dipstick needs to be correctly seated or it'll weep oil.I know firsthand! Easy to check.
Thought about that. Wiped up excess oil and went for a ride. Still had a few drips after the ride. This could have been that there was more oil spilled that just warmed up during the ride and dripped down (without actually having a leak) I don't know.
If you have the invoice for the 1'st service check to see if there are 3 drain plug bolt gaskets listed. We use GU01528930 for all drain plug gaskets because they do not leak. Uou should also find a oil filter bolt gasket GU12154200. We do not change the o-rings for the dipstick or oil filter unless thay have been deformed in some fashion.Walt
Probably a gasket.
Eeks! If it is truly coming from there, it about has to be a rear main seal. Highly unlikely on a new bike, but......
You guys sure it's not leaking higher up and just finding its way down to that point to drip?
Yeah I know! I guess these things happen though. Perhaps not enough time warming up...
Fingers crossed.
UPDATE, BUT the leak is coming from the seam b/w the transmission and the engine (not trans. oil, but engine oil). Probably a gasket. Took her in, the service guy (Dan) said the same thing. Looks like Muzz is the winner for guessing the source!
A simple thing to check for if it happens again. How does a rubber washer on the dipstick get torn? More likely, torn when it left the factory and the dipstick was put in tightly, next service not as much resulting in the drips. How many people look at that washer to check unless they have a drip?
HAHAHAHAAAA! Well... first: I'm an idiot.Got a call from the dealer, "After a long and arduous build, we've determined that the washer on the dipstick was torn and replaced it. Your bike's ready [you imbecile] for pickup"Thanks for the That's probably what did it."Sheesh. Color me embarrassed.
