2026 GT owners. Need input

Yamabushi · May 5, 2026

I bought a 25 GT last year and it suffered from an oil leak at the engine seal that apparently was common with that model. I got rid of it after a seven week repair and then the return of the oil leak.

Forward six months and I’d like to get a 26 GT but I would like to see if current 26 owners are having similar issues. I’d appreciate hearing about any issues or problems that 2026 owners are having with their GTs.

Thanks in advance.

I don’t know how many brand new ‘26 owners are on here. I can tell you that I got my ‘22 in June of ‘23 with 760 miles on it. It now has about 42K.
I have had the rear brake recall done, they recommended it while it was there in service. Never had a problem with the rear brake.
I had an issue with the cooling fans coming on intermittently and I replaced a module behind the radiator.
That’s it. And she gets ridden pretty hard on occasion,

including about 20 drag strip runs. Thoroughly enjoy this bike and would have a hard time walking away/trading her.

I have a 25 with over 6k miles and no oil leaks. You may have just got unlucky.

2025 with 1800 miles. No leaks so far.

I bought my ‘26 GT in January so not a lot of riding here in Midwest U.S. until recently. About 1350 miles now, I had the break-in service done at 585. No problems with the bike itself. Took a minute to figure out the unusual dry sump check engine oil level. Had to add half a liter after factory delivery and shop service as they obviously do not use the method in the owners manual. Filling the tank is an exercise in extreme caution especially with pumps that have spring loaded “gator” on the nozzle in a stupid attempt to trap fumes. Always make sure your gas cap clicks tight or you will get overflow once the hot engine heats the gas. No oil leaks before or after the service.
