tenere wet underneath after longer ride?
 
Hi,
is it normal? I have returned from longer ride and I have noticed after a while the floor in my garage is wet a little bit so I looked under
the belly in area where there are these 3 breathers and it's wet, looks like diluted oil dropping? Oil level is fine though.

ok, I have found out, it's normal for this type of engines.
BTW forum is slower and slower each day....

Where did you hear that? There shouldn't be any fluids under the bike after any sort of ride - unless something is amiss.

It is fairly common on a longer high speed run (extended periods on motorways) for the airbox drain hose to fill up, particularly on 2008 models. They changed the breather baffle chamber design from 2009, so it's less of a problem but it does still gradually fill up. Is the rubber bung still in the end of the drain hose? If it's got snagged off road and pulled out then oil will drain out on the floor. have a look and check this.

Otherwise the "fluid" can only be fuel from the tank breather, battery electrolyte, or (if nearer the front) coolant seeping out of the tell-tale hole on the bottom of the water pump housing meaning the mechanical seal has failed.

Do you mean the IT side of things, or do you mean the members?! ;)

The only time I've seen a fluid leak around that area was when my rear shock seal went worth a check.

I read on other forums that this type of engine does that, but in the meantime I found out the breather nut on engine oil filter cover was loose
and probably this way I got more oil on the floor then it should be...
Dealer job "quality" as usual :( I better change oil myself next time.
