What owners report
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN IN WESTERN NEW YORK DRIVING 72 MPH WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS DRIVING ALL AROUND ME. SUDDENLY THE BIKE LOST POWER INTERMITTENTLY AND THE REAR BEGAN SWERVING. I CAME TO A STOP AT AN INACCESSIBLE SPOT IN THE ROAD SO I DROVE TO THE NEXT EXIT AT 50 MPH. I INSPECTED THE BIKE AND SAW FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE BACK OF THE TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE SHAFT BUT THE ENGINE WAS DRY. THE FLUID WAS COVERING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TIRE AND I DID NOT THINK I COULD MAKE TURNS SAFELY EVEN IF THERE WERE NO OTHER PROBLEMS. I RENTED A TRUCK AND DROVE THE BIKE HOME IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL THE BIKE WAS SAFE. I HAD THE BIKE SERVICED THREE MONTHS AGO AND HAD WORK IN THE POWER TRAIN DO
THIS IS THE SAME FAILURE AS DESCRIBED IN ODI NO. 10439549, AND CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED UNDER CAMPAIGN DP12001. I RODE 75 MILES TO WORK. SMELLED BURNING OIL AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHEN TRAFFIC CAME TO A STOP, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANY OIL. ARRIVED AT WORK IN WASHINGTON, DC AND FOUND A PARKING SPACE. BACKED INTO THE PARKING SPACE AS REQUIRED BY LAW. I PUT THE KICKSTAND DOWN AND REMOVED MY HELMET AND SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR OF BURNING OIL. WHEN I WALKED AROUND THE BIKE I FOUND A LARGE QUANTITY OF OIL (APPROXIMATELY A QUART) THAT HAD LEAKED OUT OF THE FINAL DRIVE AND DRENCHED THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR AND REAR WHEEL AND TIRE. I CAN PROVIDE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE OIL SPILL IN PLACE. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL
