Oil leak from engine bolt?

[skittlenips]

Bike is 2022 with only 4k miles. I know it’s covered under warranty but I am curious if this is an easy fix or not.

Sure an easy fix, but if it's under warranty, take it to the dealer.

Working in the industry once a customer attempts a repair on their own there is no more warranty. Take it to the dealer.

That's quite a leak for a new bike. Although, weeps at the cylinder bases are common. Even mine showed a tiny seep the other day, 3 years after my 1250 upgrade.

I believe you can do regular maintenance (and other repairs) on your vehicle and keep it under warranty. Keep all receipts, of course.

Hard to say if the repair will be easy.
Work should be done by the dealer just in case the leak returns.
You will have the necessary documentation to protect yourself.

I'd be taking it back to the dealer for a warranty fix.

It doesn't look like a base gasket leak to me. But sure it should be taken to the dealer if it is still under warranty.

+1 Isn't this bolt in essentially a blind hole? It runs thru the left case and threads into the right case. A leak here could be a big deal, like a flawed case half if I've got this right.
