Hey everybody.

I'm a little concerned. I came out one day and found this. She runs just fine, and I'm not sure if it's from the internals or just cause I had to store her outside for a short time period... Any help would be much appreciated. (she's in the garage now where she belongs.)

That is just rust coming out of the weep hole designed to let moisture drain from the spark plug hole. You must have recently been in rain or washed the bike. No problem, just wipe off. Using a air compressor to blow out each plug hole after washing will keep that from happening.
 
Yep, noticed that on mine after one winter.

After I wash it, I take it for a short ride so the engine heat burns off any water that got into the cracks and crevices.
