Gaining some concern over this as I never noticed it before until I went to change out the rear fluids. I noticed and oily spot right by this "crack" the other day and the more I looked at it I see scratches and cracks all over the side. Would anyone else take it back and have them look at it?

That stuff is just Cast, I suppose it can crack. I remember mine having the gouge lines, but no cracking.
So, I don't know. I'd watch it like a hawk for sure. Hopefully, it's nothing.

The second pic by that gouge line is where I've been noticing the oil spot. I will for sure keep a good eye on it. Going for a ride this weekend and will see what happens after. Hopefully nothing but my luck it will be something lol. If it has to go back then so be it I have another machine to ride but alway fun to take the new one out.

The final drive "halves" are die cast aluminum, and that's the way it looks.
