Default Leaking oil
Went to the dealer this morning for 9:00a.m. appointment to have oil leak at primary side repaired.They replaced the o ring at the starter,apparently the dealer that installed the chrome inner primary when I purchased the bike new forgot to put the dowels back in the starter area.I traveled about five miles from the dealer and noticed oil all over the back of the front fender and dripping fast from under the engine toward frame rail and floorboard on the right side of the bike!The oil looked clean like trans oil.Anyway they picked me up and I was home at 3:30p.m.I'll tell you what happened tomorrow when I find out.

Dealer called back at 5:40 p.m., the technician had pinched the vent tube closed and caused it to loose oil.
