Default oil around spark plugs

i have an iron 883 2017 w 1100 miles with the 1000 miles service done. after a ride of 70 miles cleaning the bike , i found oil around spark plugs of both cilynders, kinda sticky, dry and flat, small quantity less in one than in other cyl. I havent found anywhere that on the first service a spark plug check must be performed, just for the 30000km, what means that i need 28000 more km to do before touching spark plugs. any comment? thanx

Probably just some assembly lube from the factory, it will burn off. I wouldn't worry about it unless it get worse. You can check the plugs anytime you want.

I would check to make sure the plugs are tight in the heads. If they are even a little loose you can be getting stuff being forced past the threads.
It's also under warranty, have the dealer take a look at it.
