Oil leak??
I have a new Deluxe and just went over 100 miles yesterday. After riding it I noticed a few drops of oil in my garage underneath the bike. It looks like its coming out of a black hose in front of my rear tire. It looks like a spill over hose? not sure. Can someone shed some light on this? Is it tranny fluid or oil. Needless to say I'm a bit concerned. A new bike shouldnt be leaking anything.
Oh, and since the dealer sold me a new bike with no gas after I filled it up the low gas light came on. Go figure?

RE: Oil leak??
I think that hose is the tranny vent. Check the level per the book. If it's high, it might have more of a tendency to dribble some out the vent. Really not a worry thing, but then I'm an old geezer from the Ironhead & Shovel worlds where a little oil was normal.
