Hi. Noticed oil on rear rim this week. Contacted 2 North West dealers to see if they could take a look. No available slots till Sept! Anyway have found an independent who can take a look early July. Not sure how much I’ve lost so drained it. Got 150 ml out and refilled with 135ml which seems to be the correct quantity after a forum search. Lead time an issue across the industry I guess.
I’d ride her and keep a close eye? Possible it’s been overfilled? Just weeping. Be curious if it quits?
Just back from an hour on the bike all looks good. I know the previous owner who purchased it new, and never touched the bevel box oil, so if overfilled must have left the factory like that.
Which independent have you managed to find if you don’t mind disclosing? Always good to have options in the contacts list. ![]()

Is the vent blocked causing a pressure build up? I assume ithe rubber plug on the top of the drive unit acts as a vent? I’ve never checked mine.
I used to put 180ml of oil in my drive box but now put 160ml, after 38000 miles no leaks, probably given it a death wish now and will start weeping oil next time out.
