So earlier today I went outside and started my bike up to let her warm up before I left. I came back outside maybe 10 minutes later, sometimes my throttle sticks unless I turn it all the way down, I think its the grips I have on, so therefore when i came back the bike was idling a little high, not really a problem but then i smelt a sort of burning rubber or oil smell, I couldn't really put my finger on it but it definitely smelled like something was burning, and then i noticed a slight amount of smoke coming from the front of the bike.
Upon further inspection I found what is shown in the pictures. A bunch of gunk around the middle headers, I'm not sure if its an oil or gas leak or what. Maybe a gasket? I was hoping someone would have some insight as to what it could be. I did end up taking the bike out and the smoking/smell stopped, and she rode perfectly fine for well over an hour. But as i returned home and parked the bike, it slightly came back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all!
