Not to cast doubt on Mike's assessment of what he saw, but I popped off the elbow to the throttle body on my '89, opened the butterfly and peered in there with a flashlight (upside-down; glasses falling up to my forehead) and couldn't tell much about the shine that I saw in the bottom of the TB, other than I know that it's a bit of oil.
When it occurs, the smell of gas is unmistakable. But, having seen oil in 16-valve n/a 900 throttle bodies, I think that what is seen through a small window like that might be open to interpretation with the presence of the strong smell of gas.
If Mike is in some other market where they have 8-valve '89 900s, and his is one of them, I'd agree with you. IIRC, the 8-valve was discontinued for all markets somewhere in the early '90s. But, his IP address says that his ISP is out of Albany NY.
