I say get it fixed...If your bike is paid off, a fix is better than 4 to 5 years of new payments. However, the best thing about a new bike is peace of mind. Never having to worry about any major issues.
That's true. The bike is paid off. Bought it straight out. Yeah, I'm thinking about it. I like that peace of mind, but I dislike a payment😅. Thanks for watching!!
Agreed
Dang, bro. Hate to hear about your bike issues. Road Glide Nation is waiting!
Yeaaah, I know man. Me too. I don't know about thay😅.
Dang, that really sucks. Sounds like we’ll be seeing a video titled “My New Indian Challenger” sometime soon. 🤷🏼♂️ 😆 Best of luck to you on however you decide to proceed.
It does😖. 😅😅 I don't know.
Im wanting a bike. I've been looking at the new Indian Scout lineup. I love the looks and the price is reasonable for a new bike. Im currently 5"11 and weigh 370lbs. I am too big for the bike right now. Im embarking on a preolonged water fast(will consume vitamins and will cheat by eating a piece of candy to hopefully cure the nausea caused by taking the vitamin pills on empty stomach. Will also stretch out powerade in small doses for the electrolytes some people say is needed ) by my calculations, i should be able to not eat a meal for 316 days. Due to the stored energy. The bike will be my reward to myself for completion. Im taking time off for this venture to ensure its completed as safely as possible. New subscriber God bless!
You'll get there. The Scouts are great bike. The new lineup does look good. If purchased one, make sure you know the purpose. Around town, backroads, touring, adventure. Make the best choice. Thanks for watching!! I appreciate the sub💯.
The bike is paid for. Get it fixed. Take it to Norse Cycles in Oneonta. The best in the state.
Paid for indeed. I'll look them up. That's your main shop, ain't it? We will see. I appreciate you watching!!💯👍🏿
Awwwwhhhh man!!!! Hopefully you will be back at soon. Things always happens when you start ‘looking’ at other bikes.
I know it's crazy. I'll be back soon. Definitely weighing the options and thinking of a plan. You sure are right. Should have stayed out of them dealerships😁. Thanks for watching!! Stay safe!!
If you go new, please vlog and review the options. Indian, HD and whatever else you may like.
Thanks I appreciate it. We will see. Thanks for watching!!
It's hard to thumbs up a video like this 🙌🏿, I am the person complaining about having two nearly perfect goldwings cause it's a little boring and that is why I wanted a vaquero as my 3rd bike cause I want something completely different 🤔 so I am really interested to find out what you do.. stay blessed 🙏🏿🙏🏿
It's nothing mechanical by far. These are great bikes. I even did a Saddlesore 1000 on it. The internal oil seal is just worn out. Them Wings are top of the line man👌🏿💯. Thanks for watching!! And you do the same👍🏿👍🏿.
Bro that sucks, you bounce back 1:16
It's not a pressure leak, it's just a slow weep. Spray it clean with brake cleaner and a plastic bristle brush, then wipe black RTV silicone sealant over the whole bolt. While the silicone is wet, lick the tip of your finger and smooth it out till it looks good to you. Let dry overnight. BAM! She fixed for under eight bucks for supplies. 😉💪
Thanks!!
Good evening my fellow vaquero rider just try this drain the oil pull the bolt and thread it back with some good locktite and some kind of sealant
Good evening!! The leak is coming from up top and not the bottom. I appreciate you watching!!👍🏿
Time for that new 2024 Harley-Davidson
😆😆 Maybe Tip!! Thanks for watching!!💯
bummer dude, my bike is on sick leave for now as well. I just got back from our area HD Demo day ( which was rained out after one ride ) but the I did get to have a go on the new Road Glide. I still lean towards teh Vaquero for a number of reason but i wouldn't completely shut out the RG. Best of luck with what you decide to do!
Thanks for watching man!! Hope your bike get well soon👍🏿. I appreciate you!!💯
nooooooooo... That really sucks. What's weird is the unknown internal failure. I suppose you're already outside of warranty. Might also want to check with NHTSA to see if there's a recall. If not, may be worth reporting to NHTSA. Leaking oil can certainly be a safety hazard.
Yeah it does suck. Definitely outside the warranty it's a 2011😁. Yes, it can be. Thanks for watching!!👍🏿
I'll check on that recall too.👍🏿
Hmmm a bike hunt series would be fun.
Maybe😁!! Thanks for watching!!
@@TD205 thanks for creating.
Bro don’t stop the content take us on the journey bro
That's true👍🏿. I appreciate the encouragement💯. Thanks for watching!!
@@TD205 absolutely
Sorry about the bike brother. Don't succumb to the popularity. You know what bike feels right for your next one if you decide to get a new bike!
Thanks bro!! I appreciate you watching! Oh, I will not succumb to popularity. I'm figuring my best option. Stay safe out there💯!
Man.. I hate that for you. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you get back on the road soon!
Thanks Southern Hogz!! I appreciate you man. I'll figure something out💯.
Sorry bruh, hope you get it worked out, I'll be waiting to see a new bike but that one is beautiful
Thanks man!! I am trying to come up with a strategic plan now. I appreciate you watching!!👍🏿
I just went and looked at mine too see where your leak is coming from, mine is bone dry(knock on wood) but if mine started leaking i would get some carb it brake cleaner and clean every bit of that oil off and try to seal that off with some high temp silicone it seal it off with JB Weld as best i could without making a big mess, it honestly looks like a very small leak(looking at mine). But no way would i get rid of the bike just for that.
Definitely not getting rid of the bike. I did a Saddlesore 1K on it. That's a trophy in itself😁. I will try that silicone👍🏿. Thanks for watching!!💯
Sorry bro. Thats a beautiful bike. My dad always said oil is cheap.
Good luck with your decision.
Thanks Rick!! I appreciate you watching. He's right oil is cheap👍🏿. Appreciate you watching!!
New bike time... Challenger has appeared
😅😅
Surprised to see this with a Kawasaki. Sorry you are having this issue. It seemed like a great bike.
You and me both. It's nothing mechanical appears to be a worn oil seal. Seals do wear. It's a phenomenal bike. Thanks for watching!!
Sounds like you answered your own question. Indian Challenger it is… ORRRR Harley Road Glide
It's a Great Debate😆😆!!
We all know #Roadglideisthebestglide 😎
@@Viewson2s 😅😅
Your Bike isn't over filled with oil? Easy to do on a Motorcycle if it sits for awhile oil seeps into crankcase, Also if you just changed oil and read it takes say 4 quarts and you pour that into the oil bag you could be overfilled because of what's trapped in crankcase. Overfilled oil seeps out from the weakest seal.
Before tearing into it check the oil level hot not cold and leak may stop.
I don't believe it's overfilled. I changed it when I did my Saddlesore 1K back in March this year. I put 4.5, which is is what the manual states. Thanks for that information. My bike never sits. I ride year around.
@@TD205 Try running it at 4 qts. and I bet the leak stops. I have a 1299 Sportster and it leaks out the rear rocker box. The manual calls for 3 Qts. That's about a half Qt. too much so they blow out the rear rocker. Common on all Evo Sporties.
@@user-st4gq2ox8m Thank you!! I'll try it.
Get that Indian Challenger.
We'll see mane😁!! Thanks for watching!!
Looks like Kawasaki is going the way of Hardley Davidson. Kawasaki should stand by this and repair it at no charge.
No, they are absolutely not like Harley-Davidson. This is just something that happened over time. Normal wear, oil seals go bad after time. My bike is 13 years old, mostly stock form, and this is the first issue I've had with it. Thanks for watching!!
@TD205 That's good to hear.You had me worried. I thought your bike was fairly new.I love all of the Japanese brands. You must have a ton of miles on this. I've had leaks over the years, but generally, they were fixed by replacing gaskets.
@honestlion17 Yes, it's an older bike. 1st generation to be exact. From reading those gasket will go out over time. Thanks for watching!! 👍🏿
Oh no! These engines are bulletproof. You could always find a used engine off a damaged bike. Pulling and splitting the case and replacing the seal would certainly be less than the cost of a new ride. Whatever you decide brother I'm rooting for you.
Yeah, that is an option. Splitting the case is some serious labor cost🤑🤑. Thanks, I appreciate you watching!!
Sorry to hear that! What happened to your clear view windshield? I’m getting ready to buy one but now I’m curious?
I appreciate that✌🏿. I still have the Clearvew shield😁. It's mainly for long-distance riding. Around town, I switch back to the stock one. 2 hours or less, I'm fine with the stock. Thanks for watching!!👍🏿💯
Kinda hard to really see the leak from the vid, I would pull the bolt since it's on top and see if oil is coming from there or where the case is. If it's where the bolt is use some sealer and if it's at the case you can use some JB weld and paint it back black, I just had to seal my gas tank at the weld.
Unfortunately, you can't pull that bolt out. It's inside the case. I tried to zoom as much as I could. I will post a pic on the community tab. Thanks for watching!!
Bruhh, i had tht same issue wth my 2011 kawasaki Nomad. It was a very minor tiny drip here n there, no biggie. I sealed mine without any issues, thousands of miles latr no issues. Imo, thts not a reason to write the Vaquero off. If ur looking for a reason for a new bike, thts not it... Just seal it & ride. Fyi i have a 2020 Indian Roadmaster, 2011 Kawasaki Vaquero & 2011 Kawasaki Nomad...
I'm definitely not getting rid of the bike. How did you seal your leak? Was it similar to mine? Did you seal it from the outside or inside? Great collection of bikes. Thanks for watching, and stay safe!!💯👍🏿
@TD205
I sealed it with heat resistant silicone from the outside. The leak was exactly like yours, small in size. A drip here n there, I only realized there was a leak bcuz I'm a clean freak lol. Use the correct silicone & I promise you you wont see another leak. There's a small gasket in the casing tht goes bad over time! (Nomad 42,500 miles) & running like a new bike. The kawasaki's r bullet proof.
@@willkearney5002 I gotcha Will👍🏿. Thank you, I'll definitely look into that👌🏿.
Sad but you have some great options to choose from.
Yeap! That's true. Thanks for watching!!👍🏿
Do not go for a HD. They say only 6% of HD make it home and the others are left stranded on the road 😂You will thank me later.😅
😭😭😅
That's the first time I've heard of anything like this on a Vaquero.
No its not time to buy a new bike.
Me too. The oil seal may have just worn out🤷🏿. I don't think I'll pay the case split open to fix it. I appreciate you watching!!💯
Ouch Well it's hard to say. How bad do you want to ride ? 🤔 lots of good used bikes out there .
Big Ouch!! It's surely is a lot of bikes out there😁👌🏿!! Thanks for watching!!
Did you wind up getting it fixed??
Yes, I did. Thank you!!
That sucks.. ALL bikes can leak oil not just the ole Harley stigma.. you only hear about Harley's because there are so many on the road. Local bike shop guru says he hasn't had a Harley come in leaking oil in a long long time.. Just don't get one of those goofy azz Victory things. Get a HONDA F6B
Yes, they are all capable of leaking oil. Harley's at one point were known for it the most. The newer models Harley's are well built. I like the Milwaukee 8 myself. F6B's are good bikes. Thanks for watching!!
Wow definitely not good 👍🏾. Yeah think it through really good before you just and buy
Right!! I really will think it through Kelly B.. Appreciate you watching my guy✊🏿💯!!!
May be time to try venture into fixing it yourself
Maybe fam😁. There is a lot I can do. I don't know if I trust a $7.99 piece of silicone sealant(JB Wield). It may or may not work. Let's see what the future holds👍🏿💯. Thanks for watching!!
You could pretend it's a old Harley or triumph etc. Just ride it and wipe it off periodically.
I could, but that doesn't sound safe to me. What if the engine locks(low oil)? what if the oil spills on my rear tire? what if the seal burst on me? I'm thinking of the best decision right now.
Quit dragging your feet and just get the Indian.
😆😆
