What owners report

2001-08-02, Engine And Engine Cooling
THE SEAL THAT HOLDS ONE QUART OF 90WT OIL FAILED AND POURED THE CONTENTS ON THE REAR TIRE. IF WE HAD NOT NOTICED THE NOISE AND STOPPED BEFORE THE OIL LEAKED OUT, WE WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN INJURED IN THE RESULTING CRASH CAUSED BY THIS HORRIBLE LEAK. A MOTORCYCLE'S TIRE COVERED IN OIL IS THE MOST DANGEROUS OF SITUTATIONS POSSIBLE WHEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED. *AK
