    Been off the forums for a while now a few Big things happened... 1 my brother moved my bike to mow the lawn annnd he droped it, so now it has a few nice scratches on one of the fairing (easyish fix) 2 while riding to work the other week noticed the back end of the bike slipping out (like what i have experienced on dirt bikes when you get a flat tyre) so I pulled off the road stopped jumped off and bam! my back wheel coated in oil, from my bike which now has a puddle forming under it... Hopefully start pulling the fairing off again tomorrow and find out what caused it :(

    Glad you are ok, and jumped off when you did bud, that could have been really dangerous.
    Hopefully nothing too major

    Soooo as it turns out, Ive been under the assumption my bike had a slow oil leak for a few months now.... however this wasn't the case and I had put too much oil in it (dirty oil covered the inspetion plate leaving me to think it was empty
    ).... cant believe i made such a stupid mistake... in saying that shes got some fresh oil and an engine detail, and running fine....... Now to deal with the scratches one arvo this week.

    Forgot to add, that the "leak" was actually oil being pumped out the breather hose into the airbox and out the bottom of that...

    So in my absence from the forums, I have discovered some very cool coating techniques! , Looking at repainting the bike. It will be black again, how ever when the paint cools (actual temperature) it will turn clear revealing the glow in the dark blue skull pattern covering the whole bike ;) , Here are a few youtube links to similar products I'm using. Depending on how I got with upgrading to R license I may look at doing this to the new bike instead.
