Well it was not the temperature change, I still leaked a little after being parked outside today. I think I will contact tutoro...

Is the reservoir sitting straight up and down. And how open do you have the valve it's 50 to 80 degrees where I'm at and I have mine open about 1 and 1/4

It's sitting pretty much vertical. Valve is open 1 and 3/4 turns.

mine is open 3 turns, it hasn't been into the 60's (Freedom units) since it has, and it's doing fine. I'm using high-temp Tutoro oil.

My valve is open some where between one full turn and one and a quarter and I still have some sling off onto my rim

Oh and I'm in the US measuring temp in °F

I think the valve openings will vary widely in the different juridictions due to varying temperatures and viscosity of oil used. I have no idea where mine is at currently, but it is functioning well. I am running a 5/30 full synthetic motor oil in it currently. If I see the need for more or less oil I occasionally tweak the little valve a quarter turn or so in either direction.
it maybe possible that a little dirt is stuck in between the valve etc.
I'd drain it all out and wash it out with paraffin (don't use petrol as this may damage the rubber seating).
and refill with fresh oil. worth a try.

I played around with it today a little bit, let's see what that did..

Well, whatever I did, and no I can not really say what I did, seems to have done the trick. No more oil spots on the floor, nicely lubed chain, I am happy!

Tutoro is now available through a US distributor. He's Rick at AdventureTech.com. I pointed him to Tutoro; he got them to sign him up as distributor. Rick makes and sells parts for V-Stroms--I "met" him through my V-Strom, so to speak.
Selling the Strom; keeping the Tutoro to put on my NC DCT.
I have no affiliation with AdventureTech except being a pleased customer.

I just got mine. I have to say that i love it! I love the feeling of a freshly oiled chain all the time. feels smoother. hoping it will increase my MPG!
i think it was great built item. but for $140 bucks i think they should include a few more items
they should provide a few more twin nozzles. they should include the stone guard as well.
mine came with a plastic screw to secure the nozzle . they should include a few of these too.
