Not true, this is a design flaw.
Spot face the crank case and fit an o-ring (means clutch removal, etc). - this is a known fix. Problem is more of an issue with the 650 than smaller bikes due to greater crank case pressure.
My 2003 650 leaked oil from the oil filter cover, water pump, rocker cover and decomp lever at the crank case - this is unnaceptable for a bike that costs so much and supposedly hand made (which to me means attention to detail)!
For info, the 03's that got to Australia had 02 engines (easy check is to see how many oil drain plugs there are on the RHS crank case - 02 has 1, 03 2).
I returned the bike to the dealer and wouldn't accept it until fixed - I new more about the bike than they did! Ended up dealing with Husaberg Australia direct - took 6 weeks to get a result (bike was still under 1 year warranty).
