    I think my bike is dripping a little oil from around the oil plug. Its strange that it waited two weeks and two rides after a oil change. Its not alot but I still dont like it. Has anyone else had this happen? Yes the plug is tight.

    Are you talking about the plug on the bottom?

    Did it get a washer?

    Sometimes the washer disappears in the oil when you change it. Over-tightening without a washer is not good.

    Maybe you can lay the bike on it's side to check and avoid draining?

    Don't fill your air box up with oil if laying the bike over...lay it towards the shifter side...

    Some people recommend doing oil changes using only the two screens on the bottom side of the case. You need to clean them anyway. You can usually reach your little finger into the larger hole and feel the top of the magnetic plug to see if anything is there. Leaning the bike over gets most of the oil out. 1.5 liters to fill.
