Hey guys,

I've owned my Ninja for 8 years now and been around these forums for about that long as well, and have never heard of this one. So I took a 20 mile "spirited" ride around the lake, and when I parked I noticed smoke coming up from my exhaust in the area of the gear selector. Sure enough, something was dripping onto it.

It's definitely not coolant (been there done that), and does not look nor smell like oil. It almost looks like a ton of melted road tar, it's a goopy consistency. The only other thing I can think of is maybe it's an overflow hose melting, or even the sheath to a wiring harness melting? I really have no clue. I find it odd that this has never happened before though.

It was getting dark when I got back from the ride, so I figured I'd throw this out there to see if anyone has had/heard of anything similar to this. Either tomorrow or the next day, I'll put it on the center-stand in daylight and look into it further. I attached some pictures of what I'm dealing with.
