I don't know what the problem was but I assume that it is two-stroke oil that's getting on the tyres, or is the bike four-stroke and it's a gasket problem? Both my SR500 and Tenere dribbled oil which ended up on the rear wheels. I found that the gearshift oil seals on both bikes were were to blame. A small diameter drill, self-tapping screw, a pair of pliers and a hammer and they were out and replaced. Just a possibility.

Took the Husqvarna to a mechanics (not sure whether to name them) they took about two months to do the work I was asking and them made a massive fuss about it being a lemon, how dare you bring us this bike, that needs loads of work etc. (I did tell them that I didn't want to spend a shit load so that was sort of fair enough). Anyway, rode it home (about 8 miles) went away for three weeks, had a bit of trouble starting it but not too bad, rode it to work and back with a bit of a run around (max 20 miles) and the same problem they said they'd sorted has come back, that being oil leaking from the exhaust on to the back tyre. I paid them 450 for the work, sent them an email saying the same problem had come back, got no response. Wondering how to proceed. They made it pretty clear they never want to see the bike again, fair enough but that's a decent wodge of cash, for the same problem to appear after 30 miles.
