This picture is from the joint just behind the starboard side cylinder. Is it the dreaded oil leak. Will they fix it on warranty?

Oil Leak

I was wondering what year / mileage is your bike?
Cheers.

Yes that definitely looks very similar to mine - happened around 6,000 miles on my 05 1200GS.
 
apart from my FD that was replaced at 3000miles i seem to have a good-un.
[ crosses all bits and tries to find lump of wood ] :D
 
yes thats it ,mine did 9400 on an 05 not having it done till i am told what's causing it (never been off road ) & not just to get my bike past the warranty period

Did a test on the gearbox when it was hot & it is not a pressure build up :rolleyes:
 
Oil Leek

As the gear box needs to come out to change the seal on the input shaft, ask them to change the output seal as whell.
