brand new predator leaking oil??

[PismoGuy400]

my buddy just bought 2 new predators one for him and one for his wife.... we briefly talked about them, but i guess all of the oil has drained out of his wifes quad, has anyone heard of this happening?? there is maybe 5 EASY hours on this quad.

like i said. i didnt even get as far as asking if the drain plug is tight. but this guy isnt an idiot so im sure that wont be the problem.

i just figured id throw this out there to see if i could get any clues. thanks

The drain plug comes with a crush washer on it that has to be replaced after every oil change. Some times they just leak after you torque them down.


I bought a nylon washer and replaced the crush washer with it, problem solved. It's been dry for a year now.

You're just downing it cause his wife can outrun you, ha:D

but hey thanks for the input, it helped out quite a bit.
