Noticed a tiny spot of oil around this open hole near the final drive the other day, bike had done around 700 miles at the time. I wiped it dry, did a few more miles and checked it again. Just a tiny bit once more, not enough to drip onto the floor.
The bike went in for its first service at 900 miles today, so I pointed it out to the tech, and I’ve now got to book it in for further inspection.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this? It’s an open hole, suggesting it’s some kind of drain, but obviously shouldn’t weep oil. Better have a look at yours!

There’s obviously no oil in the shaft housing, so it’s either throwing it forward from the final drive, or leaking down the shaft from the gearbox.
