It's been cold here...single digits for quite a while. My racebike is in the garage and it stays at about 45 - 50 degrees in there with no heater. If it gets really cold I have a small heater I kick on.
Anyway this guy is coming over to look at my Mustang thats for sale. While he's out driving it I decide to fire the bike up for a bit. I let it run and there steam coming out of the fairing, no alot but enough I could see it. So I'm wondering if something leaking and I look around...nothing. This bike has no antifreeze mind you, I'm getting worried.
I pull the oil cap and there it is, milky oil in the cap. I freak.
So I dump 1/2 a quart in and run it for a minute to get it to circulate to check the site glass. No milk. F it I'm draining the oil. Drain it, no water.
Pull the water lines, no oil.
I guess there was a little condensation in the cap.
Freakout not avoided, new motor avoided.
