If they are loose the engine can weep oil, and it flows out the right side of the bolt when the bike is parked on the side stand. Tighten the footpeg bolts, and the leak will likely go away.

They just do what "the book" tells them! Intuition and know-how went out the window years ago. I trust this forum more than I trust a dozen "experts" at the stealership!

I tried the Yamaha Raptor forum when I was doing the top end.
They didn't wanna answer any questions. Total buncha jerks.
I wiped the account as soon as I delivered the job. I've never seen a forum with the degree of expertise this one has. I have been to the Kawasaki ninja 250 forum. They were pretty good and, such a old design, years of the same design, so they knew stuff. I like it here..
