Looks like mine is leaking out of the neutral shift light indicator. I tightened it down and will keep an eye on it. Anyone else?

Certain it's not leftover residue from an oil change?

Positive. There was a droplet of oil on the sensor and you could see the trail of oil. I cleaned it up and will be keeping an eye on it.

Did you check the oil level? Mine seemed to be leaking from around the filter, but the oil level was WAY above maximum. After draining, the leaking stopped.

I have the same problem with my bike. There seems to be oil leaking from the same area as in the picture above. I thought it might be coming from the nut that wire is screwed into, but that seems to be an adjustment for the transmission. Has anyone taken it to a dealer or found out where the oil is coming from. Is it from the nut behind the screwed-in wire, or is it coming from the back of the engine above it. This makes two so far, including my bike and the one mentioned above. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah guys, I just took my bike in for the same thing.

Except on the other side my bike is leaking oil from a hole right below the pegasus on the clutch cover.

Why is that hole there?

The oil filter leak was apparently due to improperly torqued screws after the last oil change.
