I had this happen in the first 1000 miles of owning the bike - I basically rode over some metal debris which made a small 'clang' and when I got home I noticed a small oil leak from the filter. The metal debris had peirsed a small hole in the filter causing it to leak (not much tho, thank goodness!!).
Never had it happen since but I do feel that the oil filter and sump on this bike are very vulnerable...
