<p style=”text-align: left;”>I just picked my bike up after the recall and after about 50 kms I’m noticing this residue on the black down pipe fairing. Does anyone know what this is?</p>
I don’t believe that is the chain lube – it’s likely the slave cylinder for the clutch that has begun to leak. This is not uncommon for this bike, and many have had their slave cylinders replaced under warranty. Like me.
Take a closer look. If it’s the slave cylinder, take it to the shop.
Sent a pic to my sales rep he said it was chain wax…regardless I’ve ordered the Oberon clutch slave cylinder replacement to avoid the issue down the road rather be proactive and still ride and not have to wait for Under warranty repair because god knows I’ve waited long enough!
Hmm. I’ve got exactly the same an now the clutch lever is coming back to the bar with no effect. I pumped it and it regained use and then went  again very quickly. Then it suddenly sorted itself out. I’m going to speak to the dealer and get them to look at the slave cylinder.
Yes, mine did the same thing for a little over 1000 miles. It was chain lube. This confused me somewhat since I had lightly sprayed my chain during this initial period with some thin PJ1 chain but the drip was not PJ1. Still, turns out to be some residue from the original factory lube that looks more like chain wax type lube and was coming through the PJ1 coating that I applied. I have about 1300-1400 miles on it now and there is no more of this.
