Hello from korea!

There is not much information in Korea, so I came all the way here!

My bike is 2020 beverly350.

Winter has just passed in Korea, and I didn't ride during the winter.

I prepared a picture because I have no professional knowledge.

I can't guess if it's oil or fuel.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thank you!

In that forward area, it is more likely to be brake fluid or coolant. As an aside, recognizing fuel is easy as gasoline quickly evaporates. The other fluids do not.

Let's hope it is not the base gasket

If I am not mistaken in a BV 350 the coolant has a red color, so that would rule out coolant. Check your coolant level and check the color.

Check your oil level and by doing so clean the dipstick with a piece of white cloth and compare the color. If the color is more brownish, what I expect, you can also rule out oil.

Does it smell like fuel?
If not then the only fluid that remains is brake fluid.

If that is the case, then have it repaired. You do not want to end up without brakes.

Does it have a smell?
If not, my money is on water. Just water, like rain got somewhere.
That's a nice clean sample by the way, so if it has a slight smell I'd be inclined to taste it. Sweetness (or in some cases bitterness) can be a sign of coolant.
Lack of taste brings us back to water.
