Anyone know what this tube is? Found a tiny bit of fluid on it and the inside of the engine guard when I took the engine guard off. Is it the gas tank overflow valve or something like that? And is it supposed to drain onto the engine guard? Sorry picture is sideways! Uploaded from my phone.

Heard that Ducati is going to use the 821 engine on future bikes. For 2015 they are going to make a monster 821 (replacing the 796) and a mini multistrada (new looks) with the 821 in it. Is the last one a replacement for the hyperstrada or just a size "bigger" version? :confused: Other news...

Any ideas what the best engine oil to use for the Hyper will be? Brands, full synthetic, etc. I wouldn't mind looking into this before the bike arrives so I can change engine oil early on in the break in period. Cheers, :D
