Driveshaft oil Maybe?

[MorayGSer]

Every time I go out on bike, its a 2010 GS, there are tiny lines of what appears to be driveshaft oil on back wheel. its certainly not much and I cant really see anywhere on driveshaft thats leaking. Any ideas?

It's a brand new bike - why not take to straight back to the dealer and get them to fix it?

Are you certain it's not just water and brake dust? It can look very similar.

GS Monkey I took out on a dry day and noted it on wheels and edge of tyre it looked greasy. I cleaned wheels then took it for few miles and same again. But I may just be a bit anal about cleaning etc.

Slowdown you're probably right just thought I'd ask here instead of looking a bit of a Nob at the Dealer.

Yep it was a final drive leak bloody ridiculous on a 1400 mile 2010 bike. Quite hacked off. Am I entitled to a courtesy bike?

Yes you are. Just book it in when a bike is available. I've had coutesy bikes for warranty issues for 2wks+.
