[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 948434, member: 118"] A little bit of 'splooge' on the rear wheel is not something that is necessarily anything to worry about. How much is it? And also very important, where is it coming from? The bottom of the final drive or pumpkin? Or the weep hole out the bottom of the swingarm? More than likely there is nothing seriously wrong with your final drive. As Iggy mentioned, your tires may be worn. Frankly, I would have the tire pressures higher than you are running. More like 40-42 front, and 42-44 rear. Lower pressures will lead to earlier cupping. Final drive oil can 'weep' past the various seals in the final drive. Sometimes this phenomena will stop on it's own. I would only be immediately concerned if a LOT of oil is coming out. When my seals were 'marginal' they were leaking on and off for a long time and many miles before I have them fixed. So stress less, and ride more. Here's some good reading for you: [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=23238"] Splooge on the rear wheel.[/URL] [/QUOTE]
