I noticed yesterday that there is an oil puddle under my bike. It only has 400 miles on it. This should not be happening...

Background info... I drove it home friday after work and I admit I was slighty abusive (leaning and high rpms 7k-9k). Sat all day saturday and when I when to ride sunday at like 5. There was a puddle of oil under the bike. I have never crashed... I dropped it on right side last week... but nothing major jus a few scuffs. Looks like it is coming from one of the tubes at the bottom...

I will be posting a pic latter...

It hasn't happened again. I am going to swing by the shop during lunch and ask em. Since it hasn't happened again, I am not too worried but it shouldn't had done it to start with...

What all do they do at the 600 miles first service?

This isn't chain oil. If you look closely it appears that that some has evaporated away while some has run down the parking spot. I dropped it a week before this happened. I could understand it happening the next day or a few hrs latter but not a week after... I haven't stopped by the shop yet but I will on the way home.

I was wrong... I was able to get by the shop today and before I could finish saying, "My 2011 CBR250 has an oil..." He finished it by saying, "...leak coming from the tubes at the bottom. This is normal. When Honda spun it up on the dyno they used a crappy chain lube that got slung off. Over time this runs down and comes from the tubes but its not coming outta the tubes, just around them... Just apply a high quality and sticky chain lube and stop worrying about your new baby..."

So I am not going to worry any more... Issue solved... Happiness high
