White specks in engine oil
#5
(02-03-2017, 12:08 PM)Roper_imp Wrote: When I check the oil window before I ride, I notice white specks. After I ride, and I let the bike cool for about 30 minutes, the oil looks like its regular honey color. The next morning, the white specks are back.

In a brief internet search, I found two possibilities: It could be condensation from the cold-hot-cold cycle (not sure I buy that), or it could be leftover assembly lubricant and will be flushed out with the next oil change (not sure I buy that, either, because the dealer already did their first complimentary oil change at 600 miles.)

Anyone else have ideas?
If I remember right, the oil capacity of the engine is closer to 6 quarts, so it is likely that a contaminant would still be present following a change.
