Ugh. 1615 miles and i notice today that the seal where the front output shaft enters the differential is leaking gear oil. I have only had the machine stuck once in its life, and mud riding very, very, few times. I know 1615 miles is a decent amount of miles for a year and 3 months but the miles are mostly trail riding and some fast riding. Noticed today its leaking enough to get some fluid on the frame below it. Warranty has long been toast so this kinda sucks. Has anyone else had this issue so early and what are some recommendations, as my buddies '07 750 already has 2800miles and forming seal leaks all over the place. thank you

 

yep mine too at 900 mi. front output seal and guessing the rear will start soon too. not impressed by this from the better design on big bore bike.

 

Eh, it sucks but its not hard to change at all. Ive had to do it on my 360. I can think of worse things that can go wrong. Here is a link on how to do it. First time may be hard but then next time you will cruise on through

Thanks for the replies. Yea stormseeker i am not impressed with this either. I havent had any other problems so im not overboard about it, its obvious kawasaki is not using premium seals on these machines because there are many people having the same problem. I bookmarked that page alwaysride preciate it. I am probably going to try and do the installment myself. thanks for the help - joe

 

Ya, you shouldnt have a problem. Just take your time and it will be easy.
