Filed Jul 25, 1999 · Engine · CA

I have already brought the bike into the dealer 3 times already. They have replaced a few gaskets but the bike still leaks oil. Since then my factory warranty has expired and they are charging me to look at it now. The last time I had them look at the bike I was charged $50.00. And they said they didn't find anything. The next day the bike leaked oil again. If you could please help me resolve this problem
