I’ve been investigating a final drive leak on my 2018 v7 after reviewing the thread on here.
I’ve just gone and test run tested some basics - cleaned the breather, checked it wasn’t overfilled. If anything, it was slightly under filled. Breather ball bearing moved freely. However it is still there - seems to persist from the inner of the wheel.
I also noted a slight gritty noise has developed whilst riding, and now when I spin the rear wheel on its centre stand, there is a slight, regular knock on rotation in either direction. I can’t really tell whether it’s from the rear wheel or gearbox area. This is not something I’ve noticed before. With this in mind, what would an experienced person look at next? Could this be a transmission issue?
I do have a video of the noise, but I’m unsure how to post it.
Many thanks
