The wife & I took our new 300 SS down to SoCal from the state of Wa.
From snow to sunshine!
All is good until our '16 starts dripping oil rather quickly at every stop, about 140 miles in from new. Visible drips on the underneath. Coated the underside, misted the swing arm & rear wheel. Not sure what the deal is. Filter & drain plug are tight - not sure where to look next (valve cover?).
No oil in the air box if the clear thimble window is an indication. The oil level has not dropped significantly as the oil is still about at full on the dipstick.
Hmmm...???
Rode it in to the local dealer to see what's up. Needless to say they can't look at it for 24 hours.
As I'm on vacation and leaving tomorrow I can't leave it there.
Long story short, I won't be riding it anywhere headed back up north!
I'll drop it off at Seattle Vespa.
Thanks Piaggio Vespa! I've never had a new vehicle/bike give me an issue like this.
Vespa = fail on our first outing. Bummer, we were having a blast to this point.
I'm sure there will be plenty of good ahead.
