Today, I went to pull my manual out of the storage compartment on the right side and was suprised to find the plastic bag I had it wrapped in (along with other paperwork) coated in oil at one corner. I got a flashlight and looked inside the compartment and discovered motor oil in the bottom of it. My manual got oil on it also though the plastic of the bag.
(Irritated at that  P ) I looked for the source and found an open ended rubber hose clipped to the wall of the compartment (similar to the one that ends up at the collection bottle at the front of the bike). The oil had been coming from that. Is this normal or am I missing a collection device or filter or line plug on my new Bike. It seems lunatic to have an oil line dripping into the compartment where Kawasaki says you can store your bike paperwork. I note that on the California models (which this isn't) that this compartment is used for an Emissions canister. Any help is appreciated. Got to go order a new manual now P

You got me stumped . I don't have anything like what you mentioned clipped to my storage box. The closest thing I could think of would be you crankcase vent hose thats suppose to connect to the back of your intake. But since it's been clipped on someone somewhere did it for a reason. I'd take it back to the dealer an ask him what he's going to do about it. It is still under warranty.
