Downtown 300 / Re: Variator oil leaking

The seller as in 'the garage/shop I bought the bike.
Kymco as in the importer of the bikes and the garage as in an official Kymco dealer nearby.
I bought the bike over a 2 hours drive from home.
Oh... And it all happened a long way from the USA, as in The Netherlands.

And the finish the story, it was the krankshafs sealing that was leaking not a sealing in the variator.

Ok, after having to miss my DT for two weeks I can finally pick it up tomorrow.
Big discussion between the seller, Kymco and the garage that fixed the issue.
Nobody felt any resposibillity to pick up the bill.

Bad bad way to go for Kymco on this one.

The problem was a leaking seal inside the variator between the dry and wet side of it.
According to mechanics I've spoke a 1 hour job to fix.

The dealer doesn't think it's transmission oil because it hasn't got the specific smell.
He thinks it's grease applied on the axe on the dry side of the variator that melted and dripped out.
He cleaned it and I have to observe for a while to see it keeps leaking.

I'll come back on this one...

Downtown 300 / Variator oil leaking

Hello,

My 8 month old (4500 km.) downtown seams to leak some variator oil.. I found a few drops on my rear wheel and the bottom of the variator is sweating a bit. Is this normal for a nearly new bike or should I be worried and get the hell back to the dealer? What happens if the variator runs dry?

Update:

Brought it in the other day and no problem was found (as always).
I made a movie where the sound was clearly noticed and my dealer replaced the controller to be sure.

Thanks for your reply Karl.

If this is the case, can it drain my battery?
Can it do any other harm?

Downtown 300 / Ticking sound, engine and electrical system OFF

All,
just bought a 08-2015 DT300i with 3600 km's

Oh, do I like this scooter!

At this moment there is one strange thing I'd like to have explained.
Last week I entered my garage and noticed a ticking sound comming from my bike, at first I thougt it was the exhaust cooling down but the sound was to regular, as regular as clockwork.

The engine was off, the key was out, no system what so ever was running.
The sound is best to be described as that of a relay and it comes from the right side, exhaust side of the bike.

After making contact, pushing some buttons, switching the emergency (red) swithc etc.etc the sound kept on ticking, also with the side stand down.
The only way I could stall it for just a moment was by turning on and off the hazard lights.

The sound dissapeard and I could not find any problem with the battery the next morning.

Now, the bike is off since last friday and my wife just texted me the tick was back.

Can anyone tell me what this could be?
