Default 1st little issue

11600 mi. I notice the first little leak from the rear rocker box between the head and box. Bike is 1 year old so I guess that should be covered under warranty?

"D", What is the location on your rear leak? Right or left side?

I had my uppers replaced a couple of weeks ago for leaks...at 8500 miles...warranty took care of it.
