    2014 RTW final drive fluid quantity

    I believe I saw a premeasured container at a dealer for the rear drive, but not close to one now. Is there a parts store equivalent, like Lucas ?

    Final Drive Fill Tool: where to get?

    Question re. final drive oil change. Where can I find the aftermarket tool for injecting oil into the final drive unit? While I managed to use a regular syringe, but it was messy, left a bit of a mess.

    overfilled FD or messed up seal?

    Hello, I have an '01 R1100RS. The final drive leaked out of the seal, so after taking it apart and finding everything seemed ok, replaced both the seal and the gasket (reason for leaking seems to be because it was rode less than 200 miles in the last 3 years) Wife and I went for a shakedown...
