Just a heads up for my fellow Rocker owners and I'm also curious is nyone else experienced this. I recently did an oil change on my Rocker. Like always when I was done I started the bike and checked for leaks, all looked good. I rode that weekend no problems. Then about a week later I noticed a small oil spot right under the drain plug. I looked and the drain plug was wet. I thought - no biggie, maybe I pinched the O-ring. Well, after 3 new Orings, 1 new drain plug plus some teflon tape it continued. It looked like it was coming right through the threads on the drain plug. I was almost at my wits end when my buddy noticed the rubber hose going from the oil tank to the drain plug bung in the frame looked wet. It had a tiny crack in it and the oil was slowly seeping down to the drain plug and dripping down. My bad for not looking earlier but being it started right after a oil change and seemed to be coming from the plug I never thought to look. Plus the bike is only 2 years old with 7K miles on it. Anyway, a $ 7 hose has been ordered and my leak should be fixed by this weekend. On furthur inspection the hose is completly shot, it had several small cracks in it that went through and some more that were starting. Guys, take a look at yours. Ride safe all.

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

 

Thanks man..!!!

 

Thanks for the heads up man. I lot of us are in the same position as you, 2 years and under 10,000 miles. I will check it out.

 

thanks man, good looking out!

 

No leaks at 15k, but I do have lots of cracks all over the oilbag's paint.

 

After reading your post I ran on down for a look see.
My drain hose has a plastic shield which is hard and brittle. I don't know if that is how it started life.
I figured the hose inside would be toast but I found it still very soft and pliable with no indication of deterioration. I will look in my parts manual to see if the shield has a number.
One more item for my service inspections.
Thanks for your heads up.
