    Hey guys,

    First of all I just wanna say Hi! I'm new to the forum and motorcycling... but as you can probably see by the title it's not off to the best of starts...

    I've just noticed that the bike seems to be weeping oil down the cylinder from above the exhaust flange somewhere, but I can't see exactly where. It's not a major leak, but theres definitely oil there. The oil level is actually above the indicated marks when the bike is standing straight, maybe this has something to do with it? 2012 model, if that makes any difference?

    I rode the bike 300 miles home from where I picked it up with absolutely no problems, sat at around 70 all the way on the motorway.

    I'm going to take it to a mechanic tomorrow as well to see if he can see anything obvious that I'm missing.

    Does anyone have an idea as to what this may be?

    Thanks a lot.

    George

    Was the mechanic able to get it sorted?
