Red dots on bolts and other parts

Is this normal on all new FZ8s? There are red dots on most of the screws, bolts, and radiator cap either in the center or on the side. Torque markings, final driver mark? I don't see it on any photos of FZ8s online. It's something that cleans off by the dealer or myself?

The dealer should clean them off. They're marks from factory for what's been checked off on the line as correct torque from memory.

Or where the 1st year apprentice has been tasked to do the dealer pre-delivery check and the mechanic just put marks on every bolt he needs to check. I think he had the torque wrench set to 600Nm on my bike.

My last 3 bikes (09 R1, 09 R6 & 11 FZ8) had the same markings and yes, they are from the factory as a "torque check-off".
