oil leak or normal?
in the picture below i noticed a small collection of oil (few ml's). Could this be coming from the area that is circled? is it a breather vent? there is no oil in the filter and this is actually below the filter so i was wondering if that could be it. Oil level is tip top full, assuming I measured it correctly - I followed the instructions on the panel where the dipstick is located.

Probably just spilled oil when filling. Just poor followup by someone. Clean it good and check again after riding. I'd say you'll not see it again.

I noticed the same on a Ryker that was sitting on the showroom floor. Since it was new with only 2 miles, I just guessed that the tech spilled a little while doing the pre-inspection service.

Had the same thing on my Ryker. Cleaned it off and it has not come back.

Could be over filled also

so is that part circled where the oil would come out?

I’ve seen many with oil in that spot, even mine. I cleaned mine and no more oil. Makes me happy to be an easy fix but makes me sad that proper prep seems to be at such a low level at some places. IMO

I had the same on both of my Rally's..... Cleaned it and never come back... so Im guessing it is something to do with the newness..
