I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2002 YAMAHA R6 IN THE SPRING OF 2003. IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LEFTOVER FROM POWER MOTORSPORTS IN PALATINE IL. IT CURRENTLY HAS 5,684 MILES ON IT, AND I CAME HOME SATURDAY AFTER A RIDE AND NOTICED THAT BATTERY ACID WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE SWINGARM AND CHAIN, AND SOME OTHER STUFF THAT I PROBABLY CAN'T SEE. I CONTACTED ROXY'S CYCLES IN CHAMBERSBURG PA WHERE I CURRENTLY LIVE, AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT YAMAHA WHICH I HAVE NOT DONE YET.*AK
