Need Help

Went for a ride today about 25 miles, to my buddy's house and when i was getting ready to leave look down and seen oil on the rear break caliber,Primary, back wheel etc. Just had all my fluids changed two days before i might add, drove home and theirs a hose coming from the top of the trans going no where, and it seems thats where the fluid is coming from. Any suggestions would be great.

Somone probably overfilled your tranny fluid. That tube is where the overflow would exit. Its happened to me too. No worries. You will just have to clean your bike until it gets to normal level.

You can start by checking the inspection cover on the primary. Mechanics have a habit of over-tightening the four bolts which can crack the inspection cover along the bottom and primary fluid starts dripping out and making its way all over rear parts of the bike. Had it happen to me.

Thanks, i hope it's just too much fluid. How much goes in the trans? Have to ask my mechanic tomorrow how much fluid he put in.

20 oz. I believe is the answer for the transmission.

Cleaned the AIH back up and went for a ride, and great no more trans oil coming out. Thanks guys for your time to reply, Mechanic put too much Trans fluid in 28oz. Must of only needed 20oz.
