Hi all. Happy to be here with you all! Just picked up my first MT 10. It’s a used 2020, one owner with 4600 miles, 95% stock. Just rode it home from the seller and found it has oil leak near kick stand, I assume oil pan gasket? Oh well, I’m a life long mechanic and I’m sure I can tackle a new oil pan gasket replacement. Bike runs perfect, and in outstanding condition! I live near Minneapolis, MN, also own a 2022 Harley Road Glide and been riding for 40 years! Yep, getting old. Thanks for having me on this forum! Time to start thinking about mods!  |

Welcome, awesome bike! It's gonna make you grin the whole time you ride it.
I have a 2021 Matte Raven Black that also had a leak by the kickstand, at 2000 miles. Mine was fixed under warranty, but I will say that my dealer not only replaced the gasket, but the oil pan as well. They checked to see if it was warped at all, and just decided to replace it to be sure as it was too hard to tell if it were...
So it might be advantageous for you to do the pan as well, but who knows, it could be just the gasket.
As you were talking mods, I personally recommend an exhaust and ECU flash! I'm sure other forum members would as well. The sound is incredible and the smoothing out of the throttle is fantastic. And of course, they do gain quite a bit of power as the stock ECU is pretty restrictive with it's throttle valve mapping, fueling / ignition timing etc.

Welcome to the board. Enjoy that bike. I’m a 2020 owner as well.
