Should oil be there?
Changed my cct's the other day. Crank bolt access plug was frozen so I decided to remove the alternator cover to be able to turn the bolt and see the marks easier. I could then deal with the access plug without wacking it with a chisel. I know I would slip and hack up my cover. All went well. I did notice some oil in the flywheel area. Normal, or some type of seal leak? Not a lot, but noticable.

Yes many motorcycles out there have a wet stator/flywheel. Completely normal for the VTR
