First of all have you a scot oiler? Some times after a big run or if youve oiled the chain a little too much all the oil gets spun up to the front after a hard run and forms on the gear lever area.

There is a seal on the shaft of your gear lever, mine seemed to be leaking after a few hard runs but after i kept an eye on it was fine. Bought the seal anyway just in case i wanted to fit it or the bike decided to spill its gutts onto the garage floor.

Also forgot to mention my gear lever although the shaft doesnt move front to back or up and down (if your sitting on the bike) it does however slide the shaft in and out of the engine by a good few mills but ive not had any problems with it so didnt want to hock and smash at bits
