<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>

Mine did this also. Was just the factory chain wax.

Bit tough to scrub off, just chain wax thankfully. Lord knows we don’t need anymore “fluids” leaking out of these damn bikes 😂

[Sammy Sosa]

Thanks guys! Got it off with some isopropyl alcohol 👌🏼

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.

It’s just chain lube mine was the same after my first ride and got less after around 800klms.

Mine did this too (before the slave cylinder started leaking). I call chain grease.

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!

[Max Kool]

Yeah, I think that’s a smart move

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.

They all do it, especially when new… it’s chain was indeed.

glad you cleaned it off before long, otherwise it picks a lot

of crap from the road
