Took the cover off the bike this morning, only to notice a few drops of oil appear to have escaped from the bike.

Rang up my local kawasaki service centre to get it checked out, as it's under warranty. I was then told they wouldn't be able to book it in before the second week of June.
Not sure if I want to chance riding it to another dealership as it's about 20 miles away. ____________________ There ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk.

My reversing-into-a-bollard exercise last week has resulted in me being docked £50 a week for the next ten (yes, 10!) weeks for the replacement indicator panel at the back - as it was a self-inflicted accident, it wasn't covered by the ridiculous amount of insurance I also pay.
Not happy.
Expensive lesson in paying attention to where one is reversing!
Won't be doing that again in a hurry if that's the sort of money they're going to take off me.
The guy who fixed it at the garage did warn me it wasn't going to be cheap; might as well have taken out the whole side panel, and be indentured to them forever FFS
I may just pay it off in a lump sum and fuck off to a different career, if I cop the hump badly enough about it over the ensuing few hours.
But then again, I may not.
Depends on the next few days...

That looks very black. Are you sure it's not just muck dripping down from around the front sprocket where perhaps some water has also got in? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

That could be dripping from a breather hose.
I'd expect that your crankcase breather heads to the airbox via a T-junction, of which that's the lower leg. The lighter stuff gets burned off in the engine, the heavier drips down the hose instead of pooling in the airbox. My modern-ish bikes have had that hose plugged, and crud pools in it. Is your plug missing, or open?
If it's coming from a hose, then better out than in. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

It appears to have run down the outside of the hose.
Just got off the phone to J&S Northwich. They suspect it's chain lube fling off that's built up and is starting to drip out with the warmer weather (I had read something similar online and it was very gloopy, so makes sense ). Anyway, they've booked it in for a service Wednesday ( Millenium MC) and will check it out. ____________________ There ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk.

He has a lot of shops, including but not limited to MCO, Wigan Kawasaki, Preston Superbike (Formerly Slingers), KJM, among others. Probably tie ins with Wigan/Chorley Yamaha and Wigan Suzuki too, though I'm not 100%. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.
