    Went for my first real ride on the bike today. When I got to my destination I noticed a leak. It looked like oil, but then I noticed a little drop of water on the frame. When I touched the drop it felt like something gave way and then more water came out of the frame. Alot of water! Should I be worried?

    If this Frame problem is in the vicinity of the Side Stand ... it's alarming.

    Have the Frame repaired by a Professional.

    Water gets in the frame sometimes and freezes over the winter. With that expansion you can run into the frame cracking. A buddy of mine on here is going to be doing a swap to a frame I gave him because he had the same problem.

    I just had to have mine repaired, had a crack right behind the kickstand. Cost thirty dollars to have it repaired, just make sure you find someone that knows what they are doing.
