Carl, drain your differential. The capacity is 5oz. Put 2oz back in. Clean the underside of the bike where all the oil has leaked out. Drive the bike fifty or so miles. Check for leaks. Remember, differential lube has a distinctly different odor than motor oil. Sniff it to be sure. The vent hole on the final drive of some Voyagers didn't get drilled out at the factory thus causing lubricant to find a way out when it gets hot and expands. And it does get hot back there. If you are, in fact loosing engine oil, that's a whole nother problem. Happy trials, Max
