I've owned my 08 R3 Classic since June. It only had 13,xxx miles on it when I bought it and was in showroom new condition. The guy I bought it from had all service records since new performed at the dealership he bought it from who is the same dealership I do business with. Now it's November with 15,xxx miles and I have two issues with my R3. The worst is an oil leak from somewhere on the back of the engine. I noticed it when I came back from a ride today when I was wipping it down. It was on the exhaust and I followed it up the back of the engine about 3/4 of the way up and then lost it. I don't know the source yet, but I called Jerry at the shop and he stated that to date they have had no oil leaks on any R3's. He also said that aside from an oil sending unit and the valve cover gasket that there really isn't anywhere else an oil leak should be coming from on the rear of the engine. The other issue which is minor is an intermittent coolant leak coming from the water pump cover. Jerry has seen two of these and usually a new o-ring fixes the problem. I'm going to run it by the shop next Saturday to get a clue where the oil leak is coming from and get an estimate for repairs(might have to wait until January as Christmas with the family comes first). I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
