My engine oil is milky looking sort of whitish more so after I ride, any reasons??

I changed the oil because someone said it was moisture.

When I changed the oil and filter it looked normal is it thr sight glass??

Run a bit of seafoam or marvel mystery oil through it for 20 30 minutes to break down the oil and drain & refill.

any moisture will cause it to turn milky. this will allow it to drain easier (thinner) and get the most of it out, plus clean it while its running.

Just dont keep it in there as it thins out the oil too much and will harm the rings & bearings if ran for too long.
follow the directions & youll be fine.

As Randy said, it's probably moisture. If you just run it in some hot weather for a while, the water should boil out.

Thanks I will try to give it a good run for a few weeks if it ever stops raining:angry:

I am a little nervous of putting seafoam or anything else in the oil but perhaps before the next oil change:unsure:
