I've recently noticed an oil film inside the right side exhaust pipe at the bottom of the slash cut area. Looks like droplets of oil are being blown out with the exhaust. The left pipe is dry. I have not noticed any smoke or oil burning smell. Does anyone have an idea where this could be coming from?

Is it a film or dropplets that you've seen that spread out into a film? Compare your spark plug condition for more info (left vs. right). How do you lube your chain? What age is the bike? Keep after it.

Are you sure it's oil? It may be condensation mixing with the soot inside the pipe.
