The other morning I rode my 1150 to a meeting in Lemington Spa and a few miles from my destination I stopped for a pee and left the bike on the sidestand.
During the time it took me to pee the bevel box deposited a large amount of oil over the wheel and on the ground, it was quite a pool of oil!
Anyway I was late so I rode the 5 miles to my meeting and just took it easy on the bends and popped out during a break to have a look. Looking inside I could see oil which now appeared to be at a level below where I assumed a seal would be when the bike was upright.
I decided to ride the 100 miles home cross country which all went OK.
What’s the verdict?
Oh I did check the wheel for play and it all seemed Ok and there where no funny noises so my diagnostics ais, a seal has gone.
The bikes got 65,000 on the clock
