Couple of days ago I was out for a longer ride to where the engine got pretty hot, probably the longest ride since I have had the bike. Being new, I am still in the break in process. I haven't really laid into it yet, I try not to punish my bikes. Yesterday when I came home I noticed some black drips under the bike and thought it was oil. When I touched it I realized it wasn't, it seems to be some of the mastic gasket material. I think the engine got hot enough to melt some excess gasket material which seemed to drip down. I plan on taking it out again and seeing if it continues. I will have my 600 mi maintenance soon and will address with the shop then, but has anyone experienced this? Perhaps they used to much when assembling the engine?
