    Oil under bike!

    Appreciate it!

    Oil under bike!

    Not much changes in altitude with my rides lately, but a mix of things with traffic, open road, J&H exhaust open and closed and some relaxed and aggressive riding. Have gotten a few false neutrals as well but I had put that down to the bike still working in. I will ask, if you were me and had...

    Oil under bike!

    Ah, mine is 110% tranny oil and coming from the tranny breather, it is high up on the casing, I posted a pic on the previous page.

    Yup, oil showed up about 200kms after the service. But do they change the tranny oil for the very first service?

    Oil under bike!

    Still no word from the dealer, I hope there is a cancellation soon. I was half tempted to take the bike around the block a few times to see if the leak/breather valve was still there. It was much less when I rode home after discovering it...but that could be risky.

    I hope my theory is right, the bike has just had its break in service, and had 850kms when I got it, so new as it can get for being 2nd hand. And bought through a dealership.

    I really hope it is not a deep dive. Most signs point towards it being from the breather valve on the transmission, but something obviously caused it. I had been thinking maybe I was being too aggressive on blipping the throttle on downshifting, that may have caused it?

    The dealership called back and I am top of the cancellation list, so he is hopeful of getting me in in the next few days.

    Oil under bike!

    It is disappointing to say the least. I know it is probably something small and silly, but 2.5 weeks to wait after just getting the bike. I have emailed the sales guy to see if we can either get it in sooner or get me a loaner bike at least.

    The dealer called. They will need it for a day to find the route cause, and the soonest they can get me in is July 1st…he doesn’t recommend riding the bike until then…fuck sake. Literally just got the bike

    Hello all!

    Hey everyone, Irish guy living in Vancouver and recently got myself an R18 Classic, second hand with 850kms on her. I was on a Harley for a few years and before that I was on a BMW so I am delighted to be back on one. Love the forum already, it is a wealth of knowledge. Especailly helpful when...

    Oil under bike!

    This is my third boxer, GSA1200 and an RnineT, both were flawless. From my frantic searching, I am 99% sure if it from the breather value on the transmission case. You can see the location of it in this pic, which is where the seeping seems to be coming from. Item #2

    Yikes, this doesn't put much confidence into this bike...thought the BMW quality would have been there from the get go!

    Oil under bike!

    Just went down to check it again, small patch under the bike and the little plastic guard under it looks a bit wet. I only got the bike 2 weeks ago so the dealership should be able to fix it, it’s definetly coming from the top of the transmission, just under the seat.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Are they planning on releasing this anytime soon?

    Did you ever get it checked?

    Oil under bike!

    It’s 100% not motor oil anyway. It’s got more of a nasty smell for sure, and it does sound like it’s from the breather valve
