I noticed that too, I think it might be just chain wax, road dirt, grime etc building up in there. Thats what it looked like to me any way. I can't figure where that much grease would come from other wise.

That's just a convient place for the chain to fling it, & since you can't get to it with the cover off, it always looks a mess. Don't worry about it.

every few thou, i remove the sprocket cover and clean the junk out. just seems like a good idea.

I dip in there too for a little hair gel to help with the helmet hair....

i do a major cleaning three or four times a year to get
rid of stuff like that. it also lets you get close to most
of the parts you take for granted ... a good way to asess
the condition of the bike. like the race mechanic said, "how
can you tell if its broken if its not clean?"
