I was at the dealership today and made an advance payment. Will get the bike in one week when I pay the full price.

Looked at the bottom pan once again, two times - cold and warmed up. Discovered no cracks or oil leakage. I only found some oil stains (not wet really, almost dry) in the area of the oil filter and beneath the filter, on the pan, near the scratch. But I guess this is normal? I think I had the same thing on all my previous motorcycles.

Found this in the saddlebag))

Guys, I mean this area in black oval. It is not a leak, is it? I found no drops, but it is slightly oily when you touch it. What is it then? Normal?

Dirt, sweat from working. Needs a detail job. Some people never look at the underside of bikes.

Bikes are like guns, they work better when they are clean.

My guess is when the oil was changed last, some oil ran down when the oil filter was removed. Some of it didn't get wiped off, and the wind blew it back under the engine.

You may find some residue running down in different places once the motor is, or has been hot. There will be spots of grease, cosmoline and other manufactures oils on the motor.When it gets hot,it will get oily and run down...not all the way to the ground but it makes you wonder what the hell it is. I know this cos I have just been thru the same scenario. Get some white spirits and give it a good spray then dry it off with an air gun if you can. It will dry good and clean....Job done!...worry gone...Ride on!!
