I had my skid plate off this weekend messing with my exhaust. I noticed that I had a 'seep' coming from one of the rubber hoses connecting to the metal tube under the headers.. It was wet and you could see that it has been seeping. (I haven't ridden the bike that day, and it was not from washing or water on the road) NO reason to have much concern. I cleaned around and tightened the hose clamps just a little.. If your changing your oil or messing with your bike just put an 'eye-ball' on those fittings make sure yours is not seeping like mine was...

Thanks for the heads up - It's always nice to know what others have noticed as more folks load up miles on their bikes. Especially for DIY'ers like us...

I'm working out with my dealer of Samco hoses in Singapore to send a set of OEM hoses for Samco (UK) to fabricate..
Let's hope this set will be ready soon.. of cuz it'll be sold with Samco clamps..
I just love my hoses to be coloured..
