Ya mine did it too. When I took it for my 1k service the dealer told me that when it was assembled they used thin grease that doesn't do well down south in high tempatures. They said when they do the service they replace it with a military grade grease that performs better hot.

my 07 night train did this also....it will go away shortly after your 1000 mile service.&nbsp\\; In the meantime you will get grease all over yourself and your tank.
