Well rode to work again this morning. Full of the joys of spring. It rained but I was dry as a bone.
Stopped the bike at work, placed it on the sidestand and took a walk round (it was filthy). I have noticed a slight smear of oil on the top of the drive shaft running from the direction of the engine and ends at the tip of the shaft. Now there is only a smidgin of it and there was also water there but it does worry me.
It could simply be road dirt and a little swarf. It could also be the remnants of the 500 mile oil change (I noticed a splash or two around the filler cap when I got it home after the service).
I checked the hugger and it is just wet, no more than that.
Given all the problems I have though you do have to wonder (I don't want another new engine fitted).
Has anyone else seen this. Sorry I do not have a photo.
Either way, I shall wipe it dry tonight and see what it looks like when I get to work tomorrow.
