recently got this machine this spring and cant say im overly impressed. the power is great the ride smooth,but all the little noises that everyone says is just the model iritates me. i now find that the rear seal is leaking,not alot just noticable and my question is should this be fixed now?whats the average cost?is it simple for a non mechanic to do himself,and can i just keep an eye on the level.

 

hey nice ID. yea the 800's do have alot of noises, but shouldnt be too mujch of an issue. the seal(just guessing wouldnt be too bad, but guessing if oil is coming out then water can be getting in. keep an eye on it and check for water in the oil. imo.

 

thanks stendori. also i was checking my transmission fluid and when i loosened the drain plug fluid started pouring out,according to the owners manual you should fill it to just below the plug,is this normal?
