i noticed it right away but never thought much about it, but every few days i have a good amount of oil all around the area.
i want to take it in under warranty but really dont have time to let the bike sit at the dealership all day long (or days)

 

Isn't there an o ring on the filler cap?

 

My 06 does. Frustrating.

 

Yeah mine leaks around the oil fill cap, as well as from the valve cover. Not bad, but you can notice it, especially riding lots of gravel roads.

 

my 06 has been leaking out of the filler cap since i picked it up. if i recall correctly someone here replaced the cap and the leaking stopped. i'm certain that there are after market caps that will work and should be relatively cheap.

 

kinda a pain abut once every 2-3 weeks i go get a can of gunk and spray it down.

 

No problem here. Tight and lockwired.

 

Before going to far what about replacing the oring w/ a slightly thicker oring first?

 

No probs with mine. Bad 'batch' maybe......?!

 

Mines an 06 and it weeps a tiny tiny little amount, just enough for the dust to stick to it.
