Re: [ST] Oil leak question

[Tom Emberson <ate_st@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

My bike did the same after a dealership put about 750mL too much oil in
it.  Since the excess oil was removed, all is well.

Double check the oil level. Even then you will still get a bit of
leackage for a 100 miles or so as oil drains from places where it should
not be.
