I seem to have a small bit of lubricant seeping out of my primary cover on my new City X. It was there when I first got it home so I don't know if they spilled some there during fill up or what. What do you guys think? I was going to take the cover off and inspect everything, but I don't have my shop manual yet and I am not sure exactly what I am getting in to. It seems basic enough but you never know. | ||

How many miles are on it? If it seems like a small amount, I would verify the proper oil level, clean off the leakage, then ride and wait for a leak to reappear. This will tell you what exactly is happening. | ||

I would not pull the cover, but if you have a torque wrench and the settings, double checking the torque wouldn't hurt. On the Cyclone, after a few heat cycles, I would need to retorque. Has not been the case on the 9sx though. Wipe it down and see if it comes back, they probably just dribbled some. | ||

Rocket my primary cover is weeping a little around the seal, it has been for about a year. Just make sure your oil level is correct and then retorque like Reep stated, if that doesn't work have the dealership replace the seals. I have the seals just haven't made time to replace, a little leak just lets you know it is authentic H-D. | ||

Had my gasket/seal changed twice by H-D. Mine is an 03 though and H-D/Buell made a change in gaskets early 04. I'd keep an eye on it and see if you can wait until 1st scheduled service to have it looked at. Peace & bearing grease, bnz | ||

1500 miles on my 03'(bought sept 04') and I just noticed the slightest of weeping. I'm a hi-temp RTV freak. Anybody recommend against a very thin coating on a new gasket?? Seems it might make up for any small inconsistencies in the mating surfaces. |
