Default Leak after oil change

just changed my oil for the first time since owning this bike and noticed that it was leaking oil/water really not sure what it is out of the exhaust in a few spots . heres a video of whats going on.


Also I havent rode it yet except down the street for a moment and it seems like the bike is running a higher temp. I have no idea the severity of this issue or if its normal when switching oils just looking for some answers.

Thank you,

Flarm.

The condensation, if it is only water,can be normal depending on the temperature outside. Hot exhaust hitting cool moist air.

As far as it running hotter, that shouldn't happen with just an oil change.

Yeah could be just condensation but that puddle looks pretty big. U definitely didn't spill and while changing the oil right? And u made sure the filters on tight? Not sure how liquid oil could make it's way all the way out ur muffler tip. As for running a little hot u sure your not just overly paranoid at the moment? I suppose if you added too much oil it's possible that's causing a drag on the engine something along those line.
