That is the burnt two stroke oil. it is pretty normal
It's a Yamaha so it'll call for yamalube but I have one just like it and I use Honda tranny oil and I have no problems with it and its about $3 cheaper but it root depends on how aggressive u r on it me I drive mine like its a 4 stroke and have had the same plug for 13 years but if u want it to stay all factory I recommend using yamalube Yamaha designs the bike so they no exactly what is the best for it so it'll b dependable at last
