Default Heavy grease on the kick stand
So I went on a ride the other day on my 99 dyna wide glide and when I got home and put the kickstand down I noticed some heavy grease on my kickstand. I thought maybe it was something I ran over and splashed up on the bike, like tar. After more of an inspection there was no other grease on the bike and it looks like its coming out of the front sprocket of the drive belt. There is nothing leaking on the ground at all. It was about a 70 mile ride as well. Is this normal or is this a big problem?

Thanks

Dang, how fast is this thing going to go bad? Is this something I should get fixed today? Is it as slow a leak as it looks?

I had that prob.. had forwards fitted and after 2 years oil started leaking out of the chrome cap thats fitted in the primary cover where the gear shaft used to be...then it started leaking at the rear.. the gasket had slipped and needed to be changed..primary cover has to come off..takes a dealer 20-30 mins to do if thats the prob and if they fitted the forwards they should do it free of charge under warranty.

When I did the forwards on my lowrider I cut the arm off of the shifter shaft and stuck it back in behind the plug to keep that little gasket in place, and it keeps crap from getting in that tube from the backside.

It was the quad seal that did that for me.

Better have them check the main shaft bearing. Same symptoms and I had to have a complete trans rebuild under warranty.
