Remember, they surveyed BMW, GoldWing and H-D folks for input on building the Vision. This must be the H-D inspired feature... Sorry... all in fun... I just really really couldn't resist.. chahn1 Posted 2007-11-09 12:10 AM (#1716 - in reply to #1708) Subject: RE: Oil Leak Puddle Jumper Posts: 36 Glendale, AZ. 1800 miles no leaks! tralphaz Posted 2007-11-09 1:50 AM (#1719 - in reply to #1708) Subject: RE: Oil Leak Tourer Posts: 353 Easy fix? ez chair Posted 2007-11-09 6:53 PM (#1730 - in reply to #1708) Subject: Re: Oil Leak Cruiser Posts: 111 Maine O-ring was cut during assembly at factory. Body panel and exhaust removal to get at it. 3hours. Should be back on the road tomorrow. I think this is a 1 in 1000 problem. lucky me! g1nomad Posted 2007-11-10 11:24 AM (#1742 - in reply to #1730) Subject: Re: Oil Leak Tourer Posts: 562 SC, Bluffton ez chair - 2007-11-09 6:53 PM I think this is a 1 in 1000 problem.

Anyone else? varyder Posted 2008-01-09 1:02 PM (#3954 - in reply to #3953) Subject: Re: Oil Leak Visionary Posts: 8144 New Bohemia, VA Oil? These things take oil?

Anyone else? You sure it isn't an exhaust leak? Escaping exhaust gases can leave a mark that might look like a dirty oil mark, just dry.

The only oil area close is the cam chain tensioner cover. You would see oil around it if it was the source. If its a spray of oil, look for a pressurized source. This type of leak will spray at idle while the bike just sits.
