Hi ,yes, looking from rear, nothing, but looking from front you can see the blue liquid(just not a lot).Also i removed panel and had a check inside, and again, I could some liquid, but it didnt seem to be a lot.

Yes, there is a about 3 inches of oil from bottom of tube, plus some residue at top. So it`s probably best to drain it.I assume all you need is a pair of pliers to remove spring clip?Strange thing is, i dont ride the bike at all hard. If anything im super careful(under 4K as much as I can). Is this maybe to do with it simply being a newish bike?
3) Look out for the injector wire rubbing through against the frame, there was a post about it not too long ago. Plus the radiator guard rubs through the radiator in time, also a recent post (I've still got to check mine!).[/QUOTE]
