    There is a euro law (not enforced after delivery)that the number plate has to be at the very back of the bike and basically the furthest back part of the bike. Hence why Multi, GS etc have the crud catcher.
    It also relates to other bikes having a huge arm sticking out the back of the bike for the plate

    Not to cause issues - it's been reported on R3 net of oil leak at engine. Park over paper in garage to check. I really hope this is mis reported.

    If you read the first post - he says dealers reported occurrences - but heck - the Americans are drama queens with this sort of thing :):p

    I read it all mate :)
    Quite a few 2.3 rocket owners reported the same problem with their bikes when new :confused:
    They reckon it could be over greasing or protective coating running down after the engine gets hot :)
    Meh I’m not worried :p

    They’ve been watching too many old English bike films.

    Saw that - already trying to make profit, but there are still tfc versions available due to customers backing out.
