All bolts tight with no leakage from oil sight tube. Large pool of oil on garage floor this morning with no oil showing in sight tube when upright..

Yoshis sound good tho'!

Then my suggestion would be to remove the chin spoiler, start her up and try and locate the drip point. Where was the pooling in relation to the bike while stationary?

I had a leak from the oil tank on mine, think it was caused by the KTM mechanic and they fixed it but its possible. Have you seen Katooms thread about a pin hole sized hole in the lower casing?

Bit of babytalc can help pinpoint a location. Needs sorting you dont want to have an off because of it and ruin your yoshi's, I would take it back to the dealer anyway and say it was fine before I bought it to you, find the leak and fix it!
Absolutely - It's due it's 600 miler anyway so i'll get Redline to pick it up and sort. I'm not risking riding it as it stands (or falls as may be the case...)

This is the time when you really do appreciate Japanese reliability which i've taken for granted for far too long.

I thought everyone had the 3rd wheel option...? Wondered why there was no side stand..

Got bike back today - Cam chain copper washer seal had gone. Dealer did the 1st service for 11 quid as a goodwill gesture.

Beats £240. Every cloud has a silver lining and all..
