Default predator problems

my predator is leaking grease on the rear axle by my sprocket. like the seal has gone out. anyone have this problem?? Also my brothers predator started leaking antifreeze out of the little weep hole above the hose and thermostat (where it goes into the head on the left side). was told this could be a blown head gasket or cracked head. both bikes have about 6 hours on them total. anyone have these problems? And what was done to fix? thanks for any info.

If you practice over-greasing the rear, the grease will bypass the seal. As long as the seal is in place, just wipe off the excess.

My TLD Predator 11/16/02 is leaking grease on the rear axle by my sprocket also. Like the seal has gone out.

It's done it since it was new and before I ever greased it.

My dealer is going to warranty it at a later date and perhaps put in all new bearings etc... if it is needed.


Has anyone found small holes in there seat covers perhaps from shipping staples or something????

my predator did the same thing it was just a lose axle fade nut loosen the allen bolts and tighten it and the coolant is just a lose hose clamp.
