Welcome to the GasGas family Kai!
Now about that question, you may as well have asked about US monetary policy
The drooling that your new scoot is experiencing is likely the combination of many factors - being ridden too lightly, an oil with too high of a flash point, the FMF Q Stealth (spark arrestor design, packing volume), fat jetting, etc. It likely has very little to do with the 40:1 ratio you're mixing at.
Search through the board for recommendations on how to resolve it, or just learn to wipe the spooge off after every ride and enjoy your new bike

Like Steve just said. Welcome aboard 
Lots of variables that contribute, but most often people attribute the oil ratio to the spooge. If its that the jetting is rich (which is very possible, and also likely), then mixing with less oil actually makes the fuel content per combustion greater which = richer = lower combustion temps = even more drool. The best advice I can give is to pick a brand of oil, pick a ratio (I usually believe what the oil company suggests, after all, its their product, they should know it), and then jet to suit. We all have different choices here and you'll have to make yours. For me its Amsoil Dominator at 50:1ish.

Yup it's a jetting issue I would say
