Hi, The last couple of times I've been riding around 1.5 hrs at 60 - 80mph I have noticed after parking the bike it is losing a small pool of oil which appears to be coming out the breather pipe underneath. It has never done this before and hasn't been ovefilled. Is it any cause for concern?

Crank vent or breather hose reduced or blocked would cause that.

Likely a clogged crankcase breather allowing the case pressure to build up. A bit of vent hose cleaning is in order.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
