So let me preface this by saying I don't know anything about working on bikes. I can change my oil and filter, but that is it.
I walked out in the garage today, and noticed my FZ had some stuff leaked under it.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a black, tar-like substance of unidentified origin. It's not oil. I checked my dipstick; the oil is the color of honey, as it should be after only ~300mi since its last change.
It almost looks like it's coming from the transmission, but I can't be certain. Besides, I don't know what's in the tranny that would leak tar-ooze.
Any thoughts on what ails my bike? FWIW it's a 2007, 7200 miles, oil always changed meticulously every 2000 miles or so, and it had no issues or weirdness during a 35 mile ride 2 days ago. No indicator lights or anything weird.
Thanks!
