newby question..
well, I dropped the Kawi...standing still at a stop sign (no
witnesses)...bent my clutch lever a little all, But where did the oil
come from while it was down for those 5 seconds? It left just a little
puddle there...I dont see any evidence of leak after the
drop...probably a stoopid question. But I'de like to know. Thanks

Where exactly was the puddle relative to where the bike landed? The
thing that spills most easily on the left side is the battery overflow
(between the front & rear left-side footpegs). Another candidate is
gas from the carb / tank breather tube. Or crankcase oil came up its
breather tube (near top of battery) into the left side of the airbox
and out by the seat location.
Keep checking your crankcase oil level before each ride & during long
rides until you get a sense if it is using any oil and if it is, how
fast (varies with how hard you run it).
Bent levers are a way of life.

Sure it was'nt battery acid or perhaps fuel overflow leaking ?
Only possible oil I can think of is maybe out the air cleaner box
drain, had oil build up in mine once after adding too much oil to the
filter and after some time it dripped off, but mine was plugged with
sand holding it in the tube.
Not even sure where the crankcase vents to be honest.

Damn... I just spilled a whole bunch of it actually, but thankfully had a tall glass standing by full of ice to collect it.> any oil. Is your oil fill cap on tight enough? It would have to be very > loose to spill oil in 5 seconds. > > Bogdan, who hopes Dooden doesn t spill any Crown Royal >

Maybe it was already on the road!

I have a legend and a color legend. I don't read the screen. I leave it in
the map pocket on top of the tank bag when I am exploring, especially in the
woods. The major reason for it, and the one worth learning how to use in my
opinion, is the track back feature. Get lost and you follow the arrow to
follow your foot steps back out the way you came in.
I don't really carry a gps to read while I am riding although the mileage
calculator is cool. I carry it for those Aw Crap moments

Well Newby, the real truth can be found out by sending each of us $9 in
cash.
Send the money and we will tell you what was really leaking out of the
KLR....
