2014 Cali Custom, Bought in July. Just had first service at 1400 miles (late). Bike now has over 2k miles.
I just rode from Austin to Little Rock. Ten hours total trip with eight of those riding. I got to my hotel and when I came back out to go get some lunch I saw a puddle of oil. See first pic with foot for scale.
I went for a 15 mile ride to heat the oil back up so I could check it. It is really hard to tell with a black dipstick where the level is at. I dabbed a kleenex between the markers and it seemed to soak up oil but I could't tell really where the level is.
At a few stops it would leak a few drips (see second pic) but not as much as that first puddle. I will give it an hour or so and go back out and see if more has dripped.
It is Saturday evening in Little Rock. I doubt I can get anyone to look at it until Monday. I had plans of riding through the Ozarks tomorrow then into Tenessee and North Carolina the next two weeks and now I just don't know.
I also don't know where the nearest Guzzi dealer is. Can't find one in Arkansas and my dealer is 500 miles away. Edit: I did call my dealer, AF1 Racing in Austin, and they are closed while they move into a new building. They reopen next Tuesday. I planned on being at Tail of the Dragon Tuesday. =(
Any ideas or advice?
