VFR800 F RC79 Oil glass is white and steamed up?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me, my 8th gen vfr800f got after a short drive "water" in the sump oil (white greasy compound) the Bike never overheated and the cooling system level is still on its mark? Max temperature it got to was 73deg Celsius. Please help me understand this. I don't know where to start except draining the oil. But where could it come from?

Short drives don't heat the oil enough to drive out any condensation. The combustion process of burning fuel generates water as a by product and some of that enters the crankcase. Check again after the bike has had a decently long run where it has been up to operating temps for 30 or more minutes.

Also worth looking in radiator cap before you drive it anywhere. 🙂

Yeah I got the same after I custom made a clutchcover window, its normal and will go away when engine gets hot enough to drive away the condensation
