I've had an oil leak on my 09 1125r for weeks now. I can't seem to figure it out! I thought it was one of my oil drain plugs so I replaced them and put we seals in and a new filter, sprayed the whole dirty oil covered thing with brake cleaner and washed it off so it was nice and clean, went for a ride and once again there is a little drop of oil under the bike!! I'm so frustrated by this I just can't seem to track this leak down! I've attached a few photos after my ride today, after it was cleaned.

Lol, I'm almost 100% its your oil filter, probably your o-ring . If you had HD change your oil last take it back to them, if not, either early oil change or keep cleaning.
 
I don't know, I changed the o-ring when I changed the oil and plug washers. :( I just dot where it's coming from. Almost like the stator cover. Idk it's so frustrating. I mean like I have a drip if oil on the bottom stator screw even. I just don't know lol
 
Dude I'm out of ideas other than a seal or strapping a gopro to your bike or leg somehow to be able to see where exactly its coming from. Looking closer at your pictures could it be your oil cooler line?
 
I've never tore into the motor but I'm sure its possible to come from the stator cover. when you check the oil lines I'd start it and wiggle them by hand? I'm just spitting out ideas.
 
Ok yeah im gonna try that tonight when I get home. im just gonna shake it and maybe pull that clip out and pop it out and do my best to hold it with my finger from pouring everywhere lol, just to see if that's where its coming from. Maybe try tightening that fasterner nut on the end of the line too. I did pull those out when I was changing my stato/rotor, I suppose its possible I didn't connect them all the way, but you would think it would leak all the time and more then it does.
