Factory installed oil leak?… 250kms only.
- Thread starter Taylor401
- Start date
There doesn't appear to be a gasket there....is there ?
Your new 401 is covered by warranty but this shouldn't happen anyway.....seems like Indian quality control is slipping.
Once u take it back to the dealer express your dissatisfaction and get them to completely look over the bike for any other abnormalities.
Any brand can have a manufacturing defect. That said, you likely aren't getting the same level of QC that the 1390 Super Duke built in Austria gets.
A seep from an engine side-cover gasket is pretty minor in the big picture. At least we don't have the cam problems of the twins.
Is it an active drip that leaves oil on the garage floor? Let your dealer know, that's what the warranty is for. I'm sure they'll take care of you.

Unfortunately I had the same issue in 2022 when I took delivery. It was great on the way home...sat in garage for 24 hours...next day went on a ride...25 miles into the odometer...same leak. Dealer was great...rode in...they immediately saw there was no gasket installed at factory. They had the KTM equivalent gasket and fixed in under an hour. I guess in a glass is half full...it shows that the machining tolerances where so good that It only leaked after heating up. No issues since. Good luck. It really has been a great bike for 3 years now.
