Dirty frame
So this morning I notice the frame under the bike was kinda covered in some grime that looked similar to carbon, has anyone experience this; I'm at work but could take some pictures later on when I get home. This is on a 2019 Vaquero. Thanks

Under the frame..front..would probably be road debris, back further may mean (exhaust leak) carbon but, I would think you would hear the leak.

Hard to tell from the pics but it looks like road grime to me.

19 Model, Maybe preservative!? Is it new (the grime) or just looked for the first time. When I bought mine in 2016, they unboxed and assembled while I waited. It had sticky coating on some parts. Just a thought.

I'm with Loner on this one after looking at the pics. I wish my 12 model looked that good, lol. I would lightly degrease it and then check on it again after a couple of good rides.

Thanks for all the ideas, I’m going to clean it up and see if it happens again. Stay safe everyone and thanks again.

I have same thing on 19 Voyager. I think its off the belt. Kinda like Soot but not in a carbon kinda way.
Cleans off easy though
