Gasket
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
that you can see, unless you separate the two units.

RE: Gasket
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 \\;there was a kink in the gasket,almost \\;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!

RE: Gasket
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 *** they're gonna make it right if there ends up being a problem.

RE: Gasket
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.
