I don't recall seeing anyone report this one before, but if it's on the forum somewhere point me in the right place.
I noticed a small patch of oil on the floor beneath the swingarm and after investigating found it was coming from around the plastic brake hose cleat just in front of the CARC/Swingarm joint. Took the CARC off and there was quite a bit of oil in there, oil over the inside of the rubber boot and around the input drive splines. I'd already checked the level and it looked OK, but it's obviously leaking to some extent. I've ridden quite a few miles since cleaning it up and putting the CARC back on and nothing showing yet, just have to monitor the level for now.
I've got the dealer to order a seal, but having looked at the manual I think there's alot more to replacing it than I thought, special tools etc.
Anyone had one of these changed before ?
