But I’m getting air out of my oil tank which points to improper rings seating. That’s where I’m getting the extra pressure. Getting a vented dip stick now, waiting to see if that will help. Not happy about the leak down. Holding off on a top end kit. Any advice?




January 2019 build.
Sumped at 1950 miles and again at at 2500.
Dealership mentioned that this is the first 2109 they've seen do it.
Their head tech is performing the teardown and I was able to visit with him, pretty sharp cat.
I'm confident they'll get this taken care of so we can be back on the road and enjoying the bike. I don't want another bike or brand, I want this one.

How do I find out what month the motorcycle was built in? I hope they get it straightened out. I have 3000 miles on mine and I feel like its a ticking time bomb.

Junker, Its a small percentage of the M8's that have issues. Ride and enjoy.

I have a friend that had 2 bikes sump. The second bike has sumped twice. I just keep an eye on things. But my question was how do I find the build date?
