Just noticed some final drive be fluid dripping from the nipple on the right side. It’s not a lot but there is drippings. Anyone have any idea what the issue is? Thanks.

I checked my service manual and came up with nothing about the nipple. If it's still under warranty a trip to the dealer would be prudent. It might be the seal on the final drive and not the nipple. Try wiping the nipple clean, ride, than checking it again to see where the gear oil is coming from.

Could be slightly overfilled ? Seen it many times on these Honda final drives. Oil gets hot & expands ........

if its at bottom of final drive , it may be a drainer or vent , could be little bit of moly grease from behind gear drive if its like the vtx 1800 I have aswell
