[QUOTE="SurvivorGuy, post: 1451487, member: 97829"] Hi Infrared. I followed your steps, my FJR is an AE. I put the bike on the center stand, put it in 1st gear, and let the tires spin for a few rotations. I turned off the motor with it in 1st gear. I removed the rear fill plug on the RD and let it sit for an hour and when I returned there was no gear oil on the pan below. I let it sit for a day and nothing came out. It only took less than a few ounces to fill it back up. The leak always appears to come from the weep hole or the overflow at the bottom of the drive shaft. Could there be an internal issue that would cause the oil to flow out of the overflow? I can not imagine this is normal as it leaves massive puddles, way more than what I am putting in. How often does the rear differential fluid need to be topped off? Are puddles of drive oil common under our machines? I appreciate your in-depth response. thank you very much! [/QUOTE]
