I would go ahead and pull the primary cover and take a closer look.

My 04 always has crud on all three plugs. But not that big piece. Back at 20k, it did and it had shucked the alternator spline.
What does that big piece look like clean? Might want to show that to the dealer on a new bike. Of course they are gonna void warranty and blame it on you.
