Recently finished my 10K service and I've got some sort of oil making it's way down the rear shock coilover and onto the front-face of the rear swingarm. It's not coming from the fan, so it's either:

1) Rear shock leaking
2) Tranny puke vent
3) Fuel puke vent

For some reason I can't locate the tranny vent in the manual.

Thanks,

Chris

The tranny vents to the rubber hose next to your rear shock.

Yup, it's that big hose there near the rear shock.

Any chance you overfilled the trannie?

...that's what I figured. Damn! Used the exact same amount I have each time (fill to the bottom of the chain -- just less than 1 qt.)

I was following the other thread and that got me thinking because I could not locate the tube/hose...

Thanks guys. Least it's not the shock ; )

Why isn't there a filter for the trannie vent, and for that matter, for the fuel vent? I figgure dust or moisture can crawal up the tube.

...not with mine! I seem to be able to keep dust out by making sure there's enough junk coming out the other direction. lol.

I do question the vent location, however, as it's sent crud all over my rearsets and some made it on to the back tire : (

Ah well, another project well done ; ) I'll just have to do a better job next time.
