#2Sorry - first time starting a topic..
My bike is an 05 and just recently the plastic oil level viewing pipe cracked and began leaking. When I reported it to my dealer I was advised that they had seen two others just like it all within a few weeks. All has been fixed under warrenty, no worries.
So if you find a puddle under the the battery area (below front spoiler) I suggest you look at the oil view pipe first.
Just posted some photos of my toy in the pics section and more in personal section but I can't see any pics anywhere. Does anyone know a fix for this ... I am running Mozilla Firefox 1.5.09

#5Hi Rigga,
It was the pipe cracking on all three.
Just very strange in the timing.

#6aP, I can't see the pics either. I have an '05, and no probs yet, but every other SD I have seenm there oil pipe is a white colour, were as mine is clear, wondering if the white coloured ones might get a bit hard and crack with the heat.
If you are interested, Angelo sent me a heap of superduke.net stickers, all colours and sizes, if you like I can send you some, or if you are in Brisbane, we could meet up and give them to you then.
