Had a near miss just before I went on holiday, - Pissin down with rain,goin to shop.Rounded roundabout,suddenly lost back end.Managed to save it. First thought,-deisel,then red light on dash,looked down,right foot covered in oil -pissin out everywhere.
Managed to limp home and left bike till after hols.
On return,checked it over.The culprit was the oil delivery pipe behind downpipes,small split.
Id noticed before that this pipe is subject to rusting up and cleaned it off several times.
Lucky it was raining,or I would have been travelling much faster.Also lucky I was near home!
So,all you Fockers,take a look at the feed pipe now and again,-it could save you a big off!

I've had that happen on mine too.
Fortunately it was a slower leak than yours, so didn't cause as much of a scare.

Which pipe was it that split? The one that goes to the banjo bolt near the exhaust ports?

I ride all year round commuting , I do my best on maintenance and spotting issues.
But any weak points that can be highlighted... I'm will be grateful for!
Cheers man
