    Oil from Drain pipe

    Thanks everybody for the post about the cigarette lighter socket, very helpful, thanks again, now i got a more important question, as i just got a transalp 650v only a week, today, when i stop the bike, noticed some oil drops from one of the drain pipe on bottom, by the side stand,do i should worry, as the oil in the sump still in level and the bike seems ok, thanks in advance,ciao.Giovanni.

    It's probably just chain oil running down one of the breather pipes - they come down the left side of the frame near the front sprocket.

    I'd agree with that, although it might be that your airbox drain plug is missing (all 600s have one, not so sure about the 650s ).

    The 650's do indeed have a plug I removed mine for draining at the 24000 mile service. Then replaced it If it isn't fitted right it could fall out or leak.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
