I had this problem with mine where I didn't ride it much over the winter. Someone advised me that when you get back from a ride take the oil filler cap off and leave it off while the bike is parked, so the condensation can escape.

Put the filler cap somewhere obvious so you remember to re-fit it before you go out again, or you'll have an oily boot! ;-)

I tried this at the weekend, and it seems to have worked. I've not ridden the bike since, but so far so good.

I did notice a bit of goo inside the oil filler cap too, so I wiped that out. Time for an oil change soon anyway methinks.
