Glad your bike and you are ok. There’s a low seat available - I have it on my bike to help with touching the ground. It’s probably the top box making it more difficult to keep upright. I ride with a small backpack which keeps the weight off the bike.

I will not worry about bit, that had happened to everyone, about when you wore cleaning the engine I couldn’t hear if you found oil? I have the same beautiful bike and one time when I put my bike on the stand I saw oil on the same area, and is because the water pump was seeping, I know is a water pump but some how leak oil too.
