Since we bought our new TM in September one wheel was throwing grease. We take it out once a month driving 200 to 400 miles each outing. Got around to having it serviced under warranty in November (3 outings later). The shop said they could find nothing wrong and no unusual wear. They put a new seal on and sent me home. Next time out, you now it, the same wheel was still throwing grease. I decided it might be excess grease and let it go. Did that a couple of times, cleaned it up.

Last month we went to a rally in St. Augustine. About a minute after we pulled up a gentleman came over to welcome us and pointed to the greasy wheel. He removed the black rubber cap that goes over the hub, cleaned it, and explained that it needs to be depressed in the middle after it is seated by pushing it in with you finger. This way it will expand and seal properly once you get going. Go figure, it works! clean wheels after a 350 mile drive home. Hope this works for you.
