Less than 600 miles on the repair and it's leaking again...

Back to the dealer.

Just heard from the shop at my dealer. The mating surface between the oil pan and crank case is leaking. New parts on order, and I "should" have the bike back next Thursday.

Correct! I was just trying to catch something obvious on my end before I actually made the call.

So far, I have determined the oil is not coming from the oil filter cap, or the dip stick/ filler...

The oil is not leaking from the oil fill/ dip stick cap. I'm tempted to pull the right side plastics so I can get a deeper look inside the engine bay.

I may first drain the excess oil to see if...

There is most definitely an oil tank. Item #37. That's why you have to let these bikes idle for a few minutes after riding so the appropriate amount gets pumped back into the tank for a proper dip...

Copy that! Thank you for your time and detailed information

I mentioned in the first post above that the oil was over-full when checked every day. I always check when hot and after it has idled for a few minutes before shutting off.

Does the oil tank have an overflow?

Thanks

I bought a brand new 2023 RTL last month, and just returned home from riding it for the first time in Florida for a total of three days and almost 1200 miles. Not a single issue with the bike,...

I just hauled both of my RTL's to Florida and back last week. I borrowed a buddy's enclosed trailer that measures 8.5×20, and it was perfect! I'm not saying that is THE best trailer, but there was...

Thank you, gentlemen!

Both RT Limited

Thanks!

I just returned home from trailering both of my RT Limited bikes to Florida and back. Upon unloading, I discovered a metallic, threaded fastener laying on the trailer floor. I determined it to be...

When I installed 175/55R15 Kumho Solus on my '21 RT Limited, they rubbed the fenders. Maybe your new Vred's have a different profile and won't rub. It's hard to tell without seeing them inflated, but...

From what website did you buy the Vredestein tires?

Also, keep in mind the 175 width tires are 10mm (about 3/8") wider than stock Kenda. They will probably rub the inside of your fenders. Just...

Here we go.

Yes, a forklift works well! I took my time on placement, and the machine picked up level with the outsides of each fork set at 14" apart. Now, I didn't move the machine around. Just picked it...

Has anyone who owns a forklift tried this?

I'm relatively new to the Spyder game. I am ready for a new set of tires on my 2021 RT Limited. After reading several threads on this site (great site...
