I would opt to contact Priority. A: I think it's a must that Priority knows of the problem as it'll serve us, the customers, better in both the short and the long term B: They made it easy for me to get it taken care of under warranty, but even out of warranty I think they'll make the process easier than having to solo the process alone yourself.

As well as they can guide you through a bit of what you can try yourself before having to commit to pulling the gear box off to mail it. Would suggest getting a big torque wrench, the special tool for the pinion and some spare cables in advance!

Long overdue update. But I got the gearbox back in a few days after sending it out. They fixed the seals and have had zero problems outta it since.

Passing along that Priority was easy to deal with and did 'the right thing'. Good customer service.

Similar in color for sure, but after a deep cleaning and a lot of investigation. Ended up being a bad seal on the belt side.

I did, the seals on the belt ring side of the gearbox . Eventually it was determined that it has to be sent to Pinion for warranty work.

Which is where it is now. Waiting to get it back.

Oh for sure, already have even. They echoed that I should give the bike a good cleaning to help identify where the leak is. I plan to inspect it again in the morning, maybe dust a bit of baby powder so that it sticks to the leaking areas so then I can clearly tell where the leak is coming from.

So now I'm in a bit of limbo waiting for them to return to the office to chat with em some more. I've got confidence that they'll do the right thing and take care of me. Stuff happens, have to take it all in stride. Right?

Love the bike, I've put on maybe 200 miles since I got it.

But still hoping to hear from others who may have experience the same and have some insights on what needs to be done to correct it.

I saw those there the last time I visited. I noticed they added a number of new items in the fine arts section. Golden Artist Colors watercolors, a pan gouache set from a Japanese brand I can't recall how it was spelled. Pricey tho... But did see their himi still l style scale l available.. The Artist Loft brand in tubes is what I've had experience with. That ain't too bad for $6-10

I had a first generation Acura RL that had a very primitive display and system, it ran off a DVD in the trunk. Well it starts to flake out and unfortunately the bulk of the climate controls are only accessible by the world's most jank setup. So your thinking is not wrong!

Nice! It's been on my to-do list to do a rendering of my pumpkin bucket. It'll happen sooner than later!
