    First Trip

    Hi all,
    I just came back from my 1st trip on my new @, not far, about 200 km's and its amazing, such a pleasure, really really great bike ... i have one question, are the overflow pipes that stick out at the bottom supposed to drip, when i stopped there, and when i got home, i noticed about 5 or six drops under the bike, looks like petrol to me....ideas ?

    otherwise; after 5 different bikes, my last being a BMW F650GS, i've finally found my soulmate....



    Dave

    It sounds like the overflow from the small hole under the fuel cap.Check the cap has a flush fit/seal and is snapping shut when you press it.
