So, I just finished my first commute by motorcycle ever. When I got to work, I dismounted, took a depth breath and basked in the glory that is riding.
While basking, I noticed two things about my little thumper.
First, there is a tube hanging down at the bottom. I'm 90% sure that wasn't there when I left for my commute. I did a quick glance over but maybe I just missed it in my excitement to get on the road. I seem to recall reading there is supposed to be a tube hanging down for draining something but I can't find the thread (I did do some searches, just nothing useful came up). Is that normal?
The other thing: it looked like there was a wet spot on the cylinder casing. Is that normal? Condensation from heat, slight oil leak? I'm completely clueless about the repair/operation of a bike. I've been reading up so I know where everything is so far but that's about it. Buying my Clymer manual next week (hope I don't need it yet).
Thanks for any input you might be able to provide...
