Default Anyone else have leaky jugs?

Perhaps I said that wrong. When I first got my bike I noticed seeping around the bottom of the jugs during breakin. I was told it was normal and would stop. You guessed it--kept going. I took to another dealer (mine closed) and they took it in, no questions asked. It is very nice weather here right now, so I am bummed I cannot ride but at least it is being fixed. Is this common on the 103"?

They do tend to weep when new from the oiling of the head studs during assembly. depends on how much they used as how long it takes to dry up/run out.
How many miles are on your bike?

Just a couple thousand. I check all the used bikes in the store and saw none of it. Perhaps they cleaned them up but mine kept getting worse and the service tech took it right in.

Well they must have thought there was a issue. Glad to hear they are taking care of it 4 you.

there are plenty of threads asking about this and many have had to wipe there cylinders for a period of time until the weeping stopped, and it did. Maybe your issue is something different.
