I have recently acquired a 2001 V11 Sport which runs and rides quite well; but I noticed a couple of drops of oil on the exhaust crossover after a ride yesterday. A preliminary look under the trans leads me to believe it is gear box oil coming from the juncture of the driveshaft and the trans output shaft. I'm assuming the seal there has failed. Tonight I will remove the swingarm and try to make a closer inspection. My question for the forum is whether replacement of that seal can be accomplished with the engine in the frame? Also, are there other likely sources of a leak in that area?
Any help or advice with this will be much appreciated. Can you also point me to a source for a parts list and service manual for this model? Thanks.
