Small amount of Oil

Post by rmhabeck »

To all .... have a new Buddy 50 International for about 2 weeks and just noticed a small amount of oil under the center of the bike. Dealer suggests its just from an overfill from the factory....does not leak while running but I notice it after the bike sits a bit....small amount nothing major...anyone else notice this issue?

It’s under warranty, take it back to the dealer and get it fixed. After 2 weeks it should not start leaking from an overfill now. If it is an overfill it’s their fault for not finding it on the pre-delivery service, so let them deal with it.

Seconded. Unless you filled it with oil yourself, and spilled oil over the side of the fill port, it shouldn't be leaking. Now, it's possible that someone at the shop filled it and spilled some themselves. But if that happened, they should be responsible for cleanup.
