Ok, so let me preface this by saying that I'm the furthest thing from a mechanic. I can drive the bike, put gas in it, check tire pressure and other very basic things, but that's about it.
I noticed that I have a very slight oil leak somewhere, but I can't tell where its originating. What I'm seeing is a fine coating of oil on the center stand after it's been in the up position and along the top of the left hand exhaust pipe. Its not pouring out, but I do get like one or two drops on the ground after a ride and the things I mention a coated slightly with oil. Oddly enough when the bike sits there is no oil leak, only when it has been running. I thought it might have been the master cylinder, but I checked the reservoir and it's full. I can't have lost too much because the dip stick is still showing almost full. I had the oil changed in early Dec. and I've ridden about 800 miles since then, so I don't think it can be that the mechanic overfilled the oil because I just started noticing this about two weeks ago and I think I would have seen it right away if that had been the case. I realize it could be a multitude of things and obviously I'm going to need to get it looked at when weather permits. Its supposed to snow all this week, figures. Any thoughts?
