Noticed the lines at the cooler are leaking. Nice.. Did a search of the XB board and it seems as though it was common on the earlier XB's anybody have this problem on their Uly?

They might just need to be tightened. You can always take it in for the shop to fix it though if you want.

I noticed that on mine as well, I think the dealer fixed 'em up.

I'm going to wash the bike tonight and give'm a light touch with the wrench. I'm already wigging out about not using a line wrench. ( My old HYD days are haunting me.)

After the first hard long run on my Uly I noticed a few small drips on the lower fairing and the oil cooler fittings were all misted over with oil. I checked and the fittings were tight. I cleaned it up and the next few weeks it did not drip but it did mist the fittings a bit, not as much though. I cleaned that up and it hasn't showed any more signs of weeping since. that happened at about 500 miles and I now have about 4000.
