Why is my motor oil milky?

its a bike not a car. and the new oil has stayed the same colour as it was when it went in and it still starts first kick and runs like a charmWhy is my motor oil milky?
Water will accumulate in the oil in colder months due to condensation. Milky looking oil is a sign that you have water in it.Why is my motor oil milky?
Sounds like a blown or leaky head gasket. Oil turns milky white when it mixes with antifreeze.
Water in the oil - change it.
you put milk in the oil reservoir
Well if your bike is water cooled it might of blown a head gasket,check your rad cap and see if is grey on the bottom of the cap
pretty sure you water in it, check with dealer or good bike shop what to do next. probably a good flush,
if it was milky when put in why wonder now . otherwise condensation is possible if making short trips.
Same reason there is sugar in your gas tank...


Eat your cereal in the kitchen not while you work on your bike
Seems your oil contaminated with water and turns into yellow milky colours.
Assuming the bike is water cooled %26amp; not loseing coolant, or is air cooled.


The most likely cause is condensation, this is very common in vehicles that do very short journeys and or are running too cold due to faulty thermostat (Water cooled).


Also certain brands of oil seem worse than others.
