i bought a 2007 gsa 3 weeks ago,after a 4 day trip to wales i developed a small leak from my final drive(wheel side) i drove the bike every second day for the first 2 weeks of ownership and it didnt leak during that time but it was all small journeys. the previous owner changed all fluids not long before sale also. i dropped the drive oil today and measure 220mls of oil(after leaking for 4 days mind) the rear drive does have some minor play top to bottom but i have been told not to mind this as its normal. you do have to pull hard to get it and the bike moves on its centre stand with the effort involved. iv refilled with 180mls of 75w now.
from experience does it more so seem that the seal has leaked due to excessive volume of oil and the pressures involved with a longer journey or should there be zero play in the final drive and its the movement causing the seal to fail and now leaking?
Thanks
