Hi all,
Sorry, yet another question about this new R65. I noticed this morning, after some high-speed interstate slabbing that made the rear end bounce quite a bit, that I had a bit of gear oil coming out of the final drive. It's not very much, and it does appear to be running down from the breather on the top and runs most of the way down the side of the final drive case. The rear wheel got a bit of splattering too. But, since the wheel hub appears bone dry, I am assuming it came from the breather and not anywhere else that it shouldn't be coming from. Does this just happen occasionally? My oilhead RT doesn't do this.
