Guilty.......of assuming too much and not explaining properly.
Assembly lube is a protectant that they put on parts to keep them from corroding while they sit in a warehouse or on the bike before it is sold. They clean most of it off when the bike is put together but it is transparent and they often miss some.
It becomes brown and somewhat crusty when "cooked" by the heat of the engine over time.
So, yes, it probably is NOT anything to worry about. I had two shops look at it before I believed them but once cleaned off, it has not returned. :cool:
