I rode into Sun Honda this morning to let them have the bike for a few days (hopefully). They're going to fix the pannier latch on the right side. The rear striker plate was hitting something that wouldn't let it close so I had taken it off a month or so ago and just hadn't carried anything in the right pannier. In the last week, I've had a very slight oil drip from the left side of the motor about half-way back. I think it's coming from the filter, but I'd never seen even a little drip before. I doubt if it's amounted to two teaspoons in a week, but I don't want oil leaking at all. I'm figuring that both of these repairs will be warranty issues.
While they've got it and since I trust the mechanic who has always been straight with me, I'm also having them diagnose the issue with my Denalis. The left one mainly doesn't work at all (although ever now and then it'll be on and the right one will be off), and the right one has been way dimmer than normal. Kevin (I think) at Twisted Throttle told me it was probably the Y-connector in the harness needing some corrosion cleaned.
It's something I could have done, but Nic will do it quicker and I've got a lot going on for the next 3 months and 3 weeks.
Both the service manager and the service writer said, "You want a new front tire?" But I'm going to wait a tad longer on that. I've got a new pair of PR3s waiting to be mounted. I'm at a bit over 16,000 miles on the front and there's still tread. I'll probably change it in a month or two before I go to Fort Worth to do my niece's wedding, and then get the rear one put on in late June before Rick and I head north.
Anybody else had any oil leaks? What were they?
