Hey all. My '02 KLR (just bought used and spotless with 1800 miles) is accumulating grease around the countershaft sprocket. There is a little pile of greenish-black grease on top of the sidestand and a bit of a mess around the sprocket. It is thick and almost sticky. It definitely isn't oil, so am I right that it isn't the countershaft seal? I'm thinking the chain is losing its "permanent" lube, but I've never seen that happen before. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul 02 KLR650 01 Duc M750 98 Forester

It's excess chain lube (probably wax) that flung off the chain after the PO applied it. No worries. Z DC A5X A12X
