Default What is this...
So I'm about to swing a leg over today after lunch and notice this...

Anyone have a clue of what this is? Looks like something is slowly oozing out of some weep hole or something in my brake lever...

UPDATE: I sprayed my Throttle Cables with a Silicon Spray - now that I'm thinking about it - I bet that's it... anyone familiar with this "hole"... 99% sure that's it. Just looking for one more opinion...

See Att'd photo...

I think you figured it out! It is probaboy the lube you sprayed in that is coming out. Regarding the purpose for the hole - this is only a guess - maybe it is to let water out that gets in there when you ride in the rain. Just checked all there of mine and they all have the hole and I cannot think of any other reason for it.

looks like it's the throttle tensioner screw hole (with it missing) and with something leaking out

There is usually a screw there where you can lock your throttle.
