Finally got my Uly back together after engine rotation to fix rocker box leaks, muffler powdercoating, and belt replacement.

Rode about 20 miles today. Upon return, found oil on the rear header pipe, sprocket cover, and muffler. After going in deeper, found the trans vent line has a stream on it above the clamp that holds it on the fitting. Fitting seems to be dry. I guess I can crimp the clamp tighter.

I will also be checking the primary fluid level. Hope I don't have the crank seal problem. Can the engine rotation allow the engine oil to drain into the primary? Bike is an '07.

Thanks for any help,

Mark
