I have had Galxy5 on the centerstand for a couple of weeks due to the ice & snow ,, and I had not started her in that time ,, when I did start her I let her run for about 10 ticks to bring the temp up ,, I walked around to the right side and noticed a dark fluid dripping from the can ,, I freaked out!!!!! it was not oil ,, felt like water or coolant , but looked like oil ,, could this be condinsation and exhaust residue ???

the bike runs normaly ,,

 
sounds like exhaust condensation. if you're not going to ride it for at least 30 minutes, it's best not to start it as it won't burn off the condensation in the motor and tranny/final drive.
