[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 86854, member: 615"] If you clean your wheel and the oil reappears then the oil is most likely gear oil from the drive. The front of the drive which couples to the swingarm has an oil seal and an o-ring which if faulty could leak gear oil into the swingarm. The rear end of the driveshaft has an oil seal which is sandwiched between two circlips on the shaft. This driveshaft oil seal keeps contaminates (dirt, moisture, etc.) away from the lithium grease on the driveshaft splines. You might see an oily residue form at this swingarm weep hole if excess grease has been applied to the driveshaft splines. But, this would be a temporary problem that would go away over time. Some have said that the rear splines on the driveshaft are lubricated with drive gear oil. However, it would appear that both the front and rear splines on the shaft should be lubricated with lithium grease. The oil seal on the rear of the shaft keeps contaminates out of this grease.
