Didn't realise I had such a big bald spot 

Posted pic of a rather sick bike as either the drive shaft or an engine seal went on way down through France. A magic bodge job done on it by Ron/Ian to stop the oil spraying onto back wheel.  Bike is now in Yam dealer as managed to nurse bike home (earlier than planned though) as no way I could take it up Alpine passes in that state or run it back fully load.

When I dropped bike off the mechanic to one look at it and went

Will be 2 weeks or so before it's sorted as there is a special tool (what a surprise) they need to unbolt part of the shaft.  Then complete stip down to find where it's coming from. 

Ron think you were right might be a seal in engine that is allowing oil to run down shaft and out so gonna be a full strip
