[QUOTE="Lake Powell, post: 295790, member: 3650"] Rode home from work tonight, about 25 miles, mostly slab riding at about 80 mph, last 5 miles at about 40 mph. Outside temps were very mild, upper 70's and the riding was very low key, no heavy accelerating. When I pulled into the garage I just thought I'd see how warm the rear differential felt, very hot! Couldn't leave my hand on it for very long! I have an 07' and the differential has had the fluid changed at around 600 miles and was refilled with Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil of the proper viscosity. The bike has just barely over 4000 miles on it total. The first oil change didn't show a substantial amout of particulates and seemed normal, the drain plug had very little in the way of metal on it, almost none. I will pull the fill plug in the morning and check the level and report back. Anybody have any info on this, too hot to touch makes me think there's a problem? [/QUOTE]
