Stopped at a friends house tonight for a couple beers, while sitting there I noticed the gasket between the motor and the tranny was very moist. Moist enough that it caught my eye, and I could wipe it dry again with a rag. This friend of mine says it's normal, but I want more opinions. Motor only has 1700 miles on it. So is it normal for this gasket to be noticeably wet with oil, or do I need to ask the stealer about warranty issues?

There is no seal between the motor and transmission

I see, well the seam between the two units is where I noticed it being wet with oil. I wiped it dry and am going to watch and see if it does it again.

mine was getting moist too ,but it was between the crankcase and front of primary cover. There is a thick white gasket there. the stealer says it was the moco's fault and that&nbsp\\;there was a kink in the gasket,almost&nbsp\\;600 miles later now and all is well. When i posted it another member suggested, that in 2008 we should be able to keep the liquids where they belong! If it comes back,and i suspect it will have them fix it pronto!

It is not normal. Mine has never leaked oil anywhere except for minimal blow-by in the
air cleaner which is normal. I would get it checked out.

I'm going to keep an eye on it and make sure it's not a fluke. I had a pretty serious amount of blow-by as well. I cleaned that up, so now I'm going to make sure the two aren't linked in some way. You can bet your sweet ass they're gonna make it right if there ends up being a problem.

Looks like maybe the blow-by was being collected on this seam. Rode for 100 miles this weekend and it was dry as a bone.
