Oil leak....gone?

Post by fish »

Some discussion here about oil leaks from the new Forzas....and I found a quarter-sized drop of oil on my garage floor the day after my first 50mph run, after 6 weeks of ownership.
Have been watching it closely since......and the most I can get is a very small bit of oily moisture on my finger when I swipe that weep hole....no drops on the floor.
Not sure what's going on - but have stopped being overly concerned about it.
Of course, I still feel that hole every couple of days, and check the floor as well.

PS: giving those ScootSmart tires a big Atta-Boy for their rain performance. My other scooter is wearing Michelin City Grips....these Dunlops seem to be every bit as reassuring in heavy rains as the Michelins. Down-pour cornering and some serious braking - worked fine.
Cool beans.....!

Just read this. I did a run at 65 mph on my new bike after only 200 miles on it for about 5 miles yesterday taking it easy for the first 300 miles or so. I see nothing on it or under it but am not sure where the weep hole is yet.

Area shows dirty moisture there....manual says moisture at weep hole normal.
No loss of oil or coolant has been noted.
I quit worrying about it.
Tis under warranty for many mos yet.

Thanks. It looks clean as a whistle now but I only have 205 miles. I will keep an eye on it.
