Oil leak?
Anyone had oil seeping out of the head bolts by the spark plug? When I picked up the new bike everytime I stopped at a light or something I smelled burning oil. I kept looking for oil leaks on the ground and stuff but didn't see any. Well I was messing with the rear spark plug the other day I noticed oil around the 2 head bolts. It only has 930 miles so it'll be a warranty fix but what would cause this? Should I be worried about a head gasket issue or anything? Thanks for any input.

No still apart. Waiting on powdercoat. But damn you would think assembly lube would be burnt off in 900+ miles. Once it's back together I'll take it out and check it again now that I know where it's coming from. Thanks for the help guys.

I had a what I call weepage in that area when I purchased my 2016 RGS in April. It was just noticeable more on the left side at the bottom. It was assembly lube and burned off after about 600 miles. If the dealer is doing your first service have them check the head bolt torque. No issues since.
