Richard, can you post a picture of what is leaking and where?
Do you mean a leak near the right side swing arm attachment? What is leaking? Exhaust, oil, or coolant?
More information is needed. |

| The swing arm is right behind the exhaust and muffler. Yes, it should be hot.
If it's shiny, I assume oil is leaking from somewhere. How about a picture of the shiny leak? |

| I initially had a leak from this point when it was brand new, maybe a drop or 2. It stopped and hasn't reoccurred since.  |
