Advice please for R1200GSA ..pulled the air filter out for a clean (first time) and i notice there is a little bit of oil in each of the cylinder air intake pipes (see attached pic). Is this normal. Thanks for your advice

Cheers Daz

They all do that sir.

The breather is fed into the air box for environmental reasons. The expanding air carries a few drops of oil with it each time and by filter change day is noticeable.

If the oil in the sump maintains its level between service intervals and it rides OK just wipe it out and carry on.
