I just had the 24K service done on my 05 GS. Of primary concern was an oil leak. See the attached document for details but had I let the bike run out of warrranty prior to getting this fixed, the bill would have been over $3,000. (Not counting that high dollar set of shocks I had them install)
The leak appears to have orriginated from a seal on the input side of the transmission allowing oil to get into the dry area bewteen the trans, and engine where the clutch is.
Check the area where the transmission mates to the engine for any signs of oil. There is not suppossed to be oil in that area, so if you see something similiar to what is in the photos, you have a pretty serious problem and need to get it fixed before the warranty runs out.
This is not a common problem but neither is it unique. They should be aware of it.
Cheers,
