Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
The issues are a "leaking primary gasket" and "engine ticking" at start up, engine knock is severe at idle with clutch in or out, but worse out. Knock stops under load but returned under decoration or idle. Dealer, (spirit motorcycle) refused to do anything. The dealer said leaking gaskets and ticking engines were normal and would fix itself over time. According to the manufacture (polaris / victory), leaking gaskets are normal and oil on the foot controls are not a safety problem.
