Changed the fluids in my 08 EGC over the weekend. I noticed the plugs for my primary and tranny had a gray "goop" on them. Not shavings but more like a clay kinda thing. I'm running M1 75w90 gear oil in the tranny and Formula+ in the primary. These fluids only had 3k on them as they were filled in August just prior to my vacation. Now, during the vacation the scoot got awful hot, which is why I'm changing the fluids at 3k. I am having no problems with my bike, nothing sounds different. i did adjust the clutch prior to vacation in August and although it never slipped, it never really felt "right" to me either so I readjusted it over the weekend. Would the overheated fluid cause this "goop"? Would an improperly adjusted clutch (even though not slipping) cause it in both the tranny and primary? thanx.
This is the first time I found this "goop". I change my crankcase every 5k and the primary/tranny every other primary change.
