So I finally got to take my new Pro out today. After 10 miles I stopped to check everything out and found a black, sticky, thick sludge in the belly pan directly under the exhaust valves. It looks like a spray pattern is hitting the bar that runs through the compartment. So there is a puddle in the belly pan. Anybody got ideas about what this could be? I will try to post pics tomorrow.

Dont worry about it. Its coming from the donut seal where the pipe connects to the manifold. Takes a little while to seat itself and then it wont leak anymore. They all do it.
Yup no biggie...:face-icon-small-coo

It's the vent hose for the power valve cylinoid it's routed poorly.
i second this.

Mine was a gasket issue at the Y pipe, pulled it out, reversed it and OK now.

Had the same thing on mine. It looked like the donut (graffoil) was the culprit but I'll be checking the exhaust valve vent as well. I would guess that the extra oil that the dealers put in the tank as pre-mix for break in is part of the problem. I haven't rode mine yet since I cleaned it up but I'll post back if it doesn't go away. EW
Yuck!!!!!!!!!!
It cleaned up good with brake cleaner.
I also noticed a little coolant leak coming from this blocked outlet on the coolant tank. Got a vaccum plug at Napa and put on a zip tie just to be sure.

a lot of the oil buildup in the pipe is from it being started and stopped and not being brought up to temp so the pipe can "burn" off the excess fuel and oil in the pipe. first time you ride it the pipe will burn the excess, donut will seat and no more oil!!!
