So as I was looking over my bike tonight after taking the trash out (something I've gotten in the habit of doing almost every night), I was looking through the fairing opening on the left side, and noticed what appears to be a little oil on the side of the engine. I'm curious as to what this looks like to you guys. Could it be a valve cover gasket that needs to be replaced? It's got me a little nervous now. Over the past couple weeks I've been finding little things here and there that I didn't notice at first, so now everything seems to have me a little paranoid/nervous. Thanks y'all.

 

Looks like its leaking a little.
Good time to check your valves and replace the gasket. Maybe throw some spark plugs in it if it's been a while.
