Had my m2 cyclone serviced, fired it up all runs well. Next day pool of oil from this pipe? Be gentle is it a breather pipe?

Is your service guy your jap bike service guy?

I just sold a jap bike, had a really good guy for working on that but I'd never let him touch the Buell... Not only because there is a Buell guru available, but when my jap guy looked at the Buell (now Buells) he just scratches his head :)

No probs. Hope you get the leak fixed.

Get yourself some (free) plugs for the isolator holes...

Realky? Thankyou, great help, some forums for various things just hammer you if dont know the simple things.
I felt a bit of an idiot when it was explained to me, bloody dangerous leaking like that near the tyre. Not sure is there an oring in that bung or if its just not clamped in properly.

There's no O ring, it relies on a barb on the bung to provide the seal and usually has a spring steel clip. Was it replaced properly by your 'Specialist', or has the pipe become distorted? If either, it should have been noticed during the service! Next time you have your work done, it would pay you to visit the Emporium. You can be confident in his work 8-)
