My warranty is expiring on my 08 25R. It is in for it's third clutch weep fix right now. Aside from that the bike has been flawless. It's $800 for a one year warranty, $1300 (I think) for two years. Two bits of information are needed to help me decide: 1- Are the clutch weep fix parts easy enough to install myself? I enjoy wrenching a little and have a garage and tools. I have a small amount of experience, and just enough confidence to get me in trouble! I will routinely change oil and filter, do the brakes and take the wheels off for tire changes. I know I can come here if I have problems with it. 2- How much are the parts the dealer is putting in? I expect the clutch will have several more replacements required while I own it. I am content to look at this "clutch weep" as just a quirk to live with. |

Hunt down Brumbear on here, he has an aftermarket fix for the weep issue (i think) and very easy to do yourself. Spend on a service manual and a few good tools then put the rest into gear beer suspension trackdays beer tires beer and so on |

just asking; but if a clutch weep is your only problem and is being logged as fixed issue by HD, don't they have to warranty the clutch weep for a certain amount of time? |

haha the dealer said my Rev. B. clutch weep parts cost $675.00. I have an 08 R that had the Rev A. cover. It was covered under warranty. |

You don't have to do the cover every time. The internal parts for the weep are around $120 or so. |
