While moving my Monster in the garage about a week ago my foot got tangled on an obstruction and I toppled over with her. I managed to keep the bike from falling hard but it still layed down pretty good. I hoisted the bike up and found no damage other than a broken mirror. Last night I went out and found a small oil leak in the kickstand area. I was a little pissed so I didn't look too closely but as I sit here at work thinking about it I can't help but wonder what I may have broke.

Any thoughts? TIA Embarrassed

A few weeks ago a friend layed my bike down at low speed in a parking lot.  Everything looked fine, but it developed a leak shortly afterwards.  Turned out my oil filter had somehow loosened up.  Was it related to the fall?  No idea.  I just took a filter wrench and tightened it back up.

First thing I would do is truly find out where the leak is coming from.  It might be pooling near your stand, but coming from a totally unrelated place.  Maybe clean up the engine, wipe away any oil residue, and check it in the morning.

You may have got some oil pooled in a place it doesnt usually pool.

is the leak persistant? Can be a pregnant dog to ID leak location.

I had found that my Duc would leak a few drops overnite after i moved it around, not running.
This was during the first year of owning my 05 620, seems to have abated during the second year.

I suspect dry seals somewhere, bike had 9K mi in 4 yrs, I put that on annually now, how much is you bike ridden?

Normally mine doesn't leak at all.
