Oil leak

[Ramses]

Hi fellow empulse owners.

Yesterday I found some oil on the garage floor.
I found the leak but it seems to come from the engine.
It leaks between a rubber seal at the bottom of the engine.
If I remove the plastic cover i can see it clearly.

Has anybody experienced the same issue?

I brought the empulse to the dealer, I hope they can fix this quickly!

I haven't Seen this on mine however I'm pretty sure shouldn't actually be oil in your motor as it is cooled via a "water" jacket.  The oil in question is mainly for your transmission and clutch.  There could potentially be a leak between the clutch end (rider's right) and the motor housing.  Just spittballing here.

Side note, that oil is quite black.

Other side note, they really mean it when they say don't touch the feedback device under the yellow sticker.

They could be crazier than I thought and have oil in the air gap  (between the rotor and stator) but I didn't think they did.

The Oil isn't that black actually,
I only got 3900 km's on the bike and changed the oil for the first time on 2000 km's.
So I did 1900 km's without any problems with the new oil.
I really hope it won't be a big problem and get back on the road.

I read the note and put the plastic cover back on didn't touch anything! 
Drove it slowly to the dealer without changing gears.

There is one thread from FreepZ and it looks like he had the same issue.
I left him a message, maybe he knows what needs to be fixed.

Been talking with some people and we're thinking maybe the shaft seal on the clutch side.  There have historically been issues with the shift mechanism leaking too.  Best of luck and please post findings!

Yes, early on in my ownership (2013), I had an oil leak around the shifter shaft. Brammo ended up replacing the transmission, but I'm not sure that a change of seals wouldn't have fixed it. I've never heard of oil leaking out of the motor housing.

Got my empulse back!
They didn't want to say what te problem was...
Only thing I know is that i got a brand new motor.

I have the same problem on my Empulse. Sad news is that I just got it back from my dealer after 3 month in warranty. I don't want to wait another 3 month

[Ramses]

That's sad news...
I still don't know how it's possible that the motor leaks oil!
Only thing I know is that they mounted a new motor and gear.

It has been replaced in the shop in Mechelen Belgium.
