Venting spray/leak? Please advise

[Urban_Cowboy]

Hey guys,

I took my new to me Buell (2006 XB9SX, 5k miles) for a little romp around some local backroads this morning. It was the first time riding it any distance at highway speeds (120 miles with 70-75 mph average). I did a quick inspection after I got home and noticed some oily spray on the front left side of the swingarm, just behind the left foot peg. There is also some oily residue on the bottom of the frame rail, just below the peg. I see some vent line that is run in that area, next to the fuel pump and fuel/electrical lines.

Does anybody know what this is? Is this where the breather or fuel overfill vents? Should this be anything to worry about? [confused]

Thanks

the 49 state bike's overfill come out behind that rearset. That's most likely what it is.

I had that on my '04, but mine was a little more severe. But it was the rockerbox gaskets.

I have the same thing...see my post entitled ["oil" leak?]. Weather's been so crappy that i havent been able to get it out and see what the deal is. Mine results in a puddle in the bottom of the left peg bracket and eventually creates a puddle under the bike (coming from what i understand to be the fuel overflow line).
