[NattyBoy]

Just cleaning the old girl up today for the first ride of the season down to boxhill tommorrow and ive got some drips of oil gathering around the bottom of the cases..anyone had any issues with the S4R..? (its hopefully just coming from the oil filter but thought id ask if anyone had any problems..?).

Natty,

My M600 drip oil like a dripping thing. Right onto the exhaust, which is nice.

I've been told it could be one of the following: Cack handed re-use of the sump crush washer at service. Oil under pressure forcing its way our from the filler (lots do that sir). There was something else, but it was too traumatic to face so I ignored it.

Hi Natty
Dont worry this will Ade your bike into becoming a right old sh@tter, enjoy.
I believe on the 600 and 900 its fairly common for the final drive seal to weep, and is a fairly easy fix.
