XPulse 210 suddenly started leaking a lot of engine oil while riding — any idea what could have failed?
My XPulse 210 suddenly developed a major oil leak today while I was riding to work.
I was riding normally and didn’t hit any pothole, stone, speed breaker or anything underneath the bike. Suddenly I felt the bike sway a little, and when I looked down I noticed oil coming down.
I immediately stopped and found a fairly large amount of dark engine oil leaking onto the road (photo attached).
A few details:
Bike was running completely normally before this.
No impact or bottoming-out that I noticed.
The leak happened suddenly while riding, rather than being a slow seepage.
I switched the engine off immediately.
I haven’t started the bike again after the leak.
What could cause such a sudden oil loss on the XPulse 210?
Could it be the oil filter/O-ring, drain bolt/washer, an oil line/fitting, or something more serious like the crankcase?
Has anyone here experienced a similar sudden oil leak on their XPulse 210?
Would especially appreciate input from anyone who has had this exact issue and knows what the service centre eventually found.
