Welcome Spawn.
This is the place for any questions. Expect lots of help.
I have a Kawasaki that has always had a a drop or so of oil up above the exhaust ports. I took it to two dealers and they both said they could replace the gasket, but it would not hurt anything to just go through the pain of wiping it off after every ride.
I don't know about the Rockets.... I first had an electrical short when I got mine, took a week or so of searching, eliminations and tons of help from here to find it, but I sure got to know what there is under the seat by doing that!!! There's no way I'd mess with the engine though. There are some on here have taken theirs completely apart.
I agree with what others have said on this one, though.
Hope you like your R3C!!!! I love mine the more I look at it!!
