 |
|
Yesterday evening I opened the motor oil screw plug and I noticed that on the inside upper part of the Crankcase there is some kind of yellowish cream ,lighter in color than that of an espresso. I suppose that is some kind of emulsified oil/water. The question is: is this normal or a sign of something is going wrong. I checked the cooling liquid in the reservoir, no traces of oil inside ,so I suppose pump is ok.
Happy New Year to all of you from Athens |

I see that here is the winter time if my rides are short.
To that end I usually don't take it out in the winter unless I can be out for an hour or so to get the oil real good and hot to burn off that excess moisture.
The moisture most likely is from condensation forming in the crankcase.
