Oil-spray(?) on rear headpipe and side cover after ride...
Hoping this isn't a big problem, but when i returned from only my second ride on my new-to-me 2000 RKC, about a 45 minute ride on the hiway, I noticed afterwards - while sitting in the house, I smelled a little like I just got done snowblowing (you know, that smell) - so, I went out to the garage and looked over the bike and I noticed that there is what appears to be a clear, mild smelling oil-spray near the top of the rear-right head pipe and on the right side cover and on the front of the right saddle bag.......am I screwed??? What is this from??? I started the bike and could not see any spray - nor do I see oil anywhere else (in the garage light at night with a flashlight) so I can't tell where it's coming from.
Nervously waiting repies....

If it's coming out of the air cleaner, you likely need the oil pump re-aligned. You can get more ideas on blowby from here:

Try dropping the oil level 1/2 qt.

Did you guys decide that was the case? I installed new pipes and the SE forward facing air breather last week. I got this spray the first time I started it up, and then it was fine until today. I went out to show a few co-workers my new pipes and started it up. Spray almost immediately. We waited a few seconds and started it up again and nothing. I think I traced it to the breather, but don't know for sure...
