Oil Leaking after Valve Clearance Check

I had the dealership do a valve clearance check and now there is oil coming out from the alternator cover when I run the bike. It only takes about 2000rpm to make the oil leak. Any suggestions of what I might check?

I would check to make sure you still have the receipt so that you can call the dealership and demand they pay to have your bike towed back to them.

That is un-f'ing-acceptable.

Did they put back the oil cap on the left side of the bike? Check your oil level with the bike standing straight. How much oil is leaking? Are there any bolts that appear loose?

Maybe give them a call and have them pick up your bike if there isn't enough oil in it.

Yea, definitely still have the receipt, they're not open until Tuesday, and I need to ride all over the place today.
