When you changed the oil how did it look/smell, was it really thin and runny, did it smell petrolly, my guess is you have a bit of condensation in the crankcase due to short runs with the bike not getting a chance to get hot, I would keep an eye on the oil level, as if it is leaking fuel into the sump your oil level would go up.


Drained oil smells of petrol
Dirty brown colour looked normal consistency for used oil
Oil level has never gone up or down.

Hey Keno

I was wondering if you sorted the problem out and found the cause of the emulsion?

No, just going to put it down to condensation as since the warmer weather is coming seems to be a lot better,had to clean inside of clutch housing twice as it was really bad and changed the oil and stripped out all crankcase breather tubes they where badly gunged up,come to think of it i think the same happened last winter as well.

Motul says it can be mixed.  :)




Mix it - no problems. BTW Motul's semi-synth 5100 oil is a bit less good than the other producers' similar oils  - while it costs a bit more.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
