    3 year old bike!!!!!! I would be chatting up the service manager at the local dealer to get an ex-gratia replacement under warranty = or at least a contribution
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    I can't see why adjusting it would make it leak.

    An alternative would be to source one from ebay or get the existing one rebuilt.
