Default Oil leak question...
Had the Stage II, 103" installed when I bought the bike. After about 1100 miles I noticed an oil leak at the base of the rear jug. Took it back to the dealer that I bought froma and they fixed it. Now at 2100 miles BOTH jugs are leaking at the cylinder bases. Anyone else with the 103 had this experience?

I don't have a 103 and don't have the problem, but the SVO guys complain about this a lot.

If the o-ring on the base of the cylinder was oiled up to much during install this can cause oil to weep between the cylinder and the case. It seem odd that it would show up after 2100 miles. Just an idea.

Yeah, I can't understand why it is doing it again on the rear jug and just starting on the front jug. Going to take it in in the morning (different dealer), and see if they can get it right.
