Something is leaking onto the head at the #6 intake manifold. I have not searched real hard, but not sure where it's coming from. I have taken nothing apart, ever, except to change the air filter several years ago. 2001 Standard with 31,000 miles.  |

Get a set of intake O rings from Redeye tech and you'll be good to go. Easy to change out.

It does look like the intake o-ring and its easy to fix, but, I'd also check the vacuum line to the petcock. The diaphram can leak and the line can be cracked/split.

Looks like you've had some rodent on the top of your bike, doing his business.
OK. Looks like a O-ring leak also.
Maybe a little soap and water to see if there is a leak?

Yep. There was yellow residue by the manifold and I cleaned it all off before riding to work. 17 miles later in the parking lot I took the above photo in the original post. Maybe there was a mouse hiding and the high speed ride scared the piss out of him? ***Edited for clarity*** |

Like others said O-ring leaking. I would also replace all your vacuum lines and synch port caps. Redeye has all you need to do the job.
