Howzit,

I've just come back from a long Saturday ride and noticed that there was oil on my kickstand. When I looked underneath it seems like there is a lot of oil on the bottom of the rear spring and a little on the swing arm directly under. I can't quite see where the oil is coming from and wonder if anyone has any ideas? I have a Scotoiler so not sure it's splatter from the chain but the chain isn't that slick. Could it be oil from the engine or rear spring? Or is this normal?

Edit: Added pictures - sorry for the poor quality!

Thanks,
Antony.

Pound to a pinch it's the scottoiler, turn it down now it's getting warmer. It always builds up anyway under the front sprocket cover then drips out and gets thrown around more in warmer weather.

Awesome, thanks. I'll give the bike a clean and keep an eye on it. I've just moved the Scotoiler under the rear fairing and turned it down - but will see if I need to turn it down more.

Love your signature btw.
