Hi all,
Just changed the oil and filter on the new to me 14, have ridden maybe 40 km since. Washed the bike yesterday and noticed quite milky oil in the crankcase glass while drying it off. It has been very humid here with all the snow melting and I have had several short run times to move the bike around and test things. I have experienced this on dirt-bikes in the past several times for obvious reasons, but not my road bikes. I do know that water can find it's way in to the oil through condensation when running the bike short times and while washing. Too dry things out I ran the bike for 10-20 minutes just above idle, right up to full temp bars and now the oil looks great again.
My question is if this is more common on the 14s because of the ram air riding in rain or washing or if you suspect that the humidy and short runs are responsible for this situation?
