My bevel box had oil and never had a leak. Our failure came without warning and was an instant lockup of the rear wheel while at highway speed. The only reason there was not a serious consequence was that it was on a straight road with no other traffic around. My confidence in the safety of this little machine has been shaken and I wonder about going forward.
The idea that new owners do their own double check following taking delivery is sending a massage to the manufacturer that somehow their quality control and manufacturing processes are acceptable. Is this the rationale you use when buying a new $50,000 car? Check it out to see if it is safe?
On the contrary, this is Morgan's responsibility to deliver a safe product. We could have been killed by this failure.
