Jerry -
I did not check them because I don't have a torque wrench to get in there. But I did put a wrench on them & they appear to be good & tight. I just find it odd it didn't do this until I switched over to the full synthetic oil & my problem looks like your pictures along with others I've seen. But, on the other hand, sometimes after riding 30-40 miles around town, it won't do it at all. Yesterday, I rode about 100 miles, at times up to 75 mph & had a little weep about mid-point - wiped it off & it didn't come back. So I think I am gonna switch back w/in the next couple of weeks & see how it does.
