    Getting a slight oil leak Lhs bottom front of fairing on my 04 fireblade, think it might be from the gear selector rod. Any ideas

    Sure it's just not build up of chain lube etc ? Or is it nice and clean oil give it a good clean around the area then start bike run to temp if your lucky it won't leak or you will find where it's coming from

    Could be clutch fluid leaked from the slave, or push rod engine oil seal, even gen gasket cover...

    It's crud and splash from the chain, mines the same. Give it a good clean up and It'll re-appear again eventually. Nothing to be concerned about.
