I have a 2005 gs500f. After a ride, and dismounting the bike- I can see oil splattered all over both sides of the rear tire, and the exhaust. After parking, there will be a quarter size oil spot just in front of the kick stand right in the center of the bike on the pavement, after 5 minutes. We tore off the fairings, and took a look. But there is no obvious place where the leak is. Has anyone had this happen? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sick of cleaning oil off my bike!!

Ya I had this happen. It ended up being a bunch of gunk mixed with chain lube. Take off the front sprocket cover and clean it up!

ahhh. never thought of it coming from the chain. The oil level is always in the normal range when I check it, I havent had to add any. Bike runs great, especially after cleaning the carbs. Thats why im so confused thanks guys
