White stuff in oil window?

Explodee · Dec 8, 2015

Noticed this stuff the other day... Should I be worried?

That looks like condensation. Just ride her, you should be fine.

Agree.
Not sure where you are from Explodee but if its getting colder where you live and you only ride it for short periods you tend to see this. It is only trace water in the oil which is common.

I have this also from time to time. Just put it down to really wet and cold riding.

Hello

When coming back from a ride, just open the oil cap for a while, so that the hot and wet air can go out. This stuff should disappear.

Don't worry, that's not a real problem...

Just remember to plug it back up. :very_drunk:

It's nothing to worry about, a bit of condensation and oil foaming.

Explodee · Dec 9, 2015

Yeah I live in Boston and only ride about 15 minutes to and from work. Not putting it away until I see snow :icon_santa:

That's a terminal issue with impending engine failure. Crate it up now and send it to my address so I can dispose of it properly for you.

I'll pay the shipping difference

Why pay shipping at all? I'll come pick it up! LOL.

Finally getting cold enough here today that we could see some snow. Love to ride but our season skiing passes are wasting away. Oops, did I say that? My bad.

In my younger days when ever I attempted to snow ski I always was aflicted by the Northern California Snow Snake. Horrible really.
