yz85 oil question
chris-mets:
I rode the yz for like 3 mins on my driveway and then I parked it and looked at the exhaust oil coming out. It was much lighter than it usually is...It was a whitish grayish creamy color but when you touched it with your finger it was black. THe bike has a ton! of power and exactly what i need but I oredered the tester already so ill test it. I can also use it for my other engines.

i have a snap on tester but it had a rubber cone not the screw in type so i cut an old spark plug up welded the threaded part on where the cone comes off ..so if ebay has a cone type you could adapt it ????
chris-mets:
Thanks for the advice royce...I already bought a screw in one as the link is above so its fine...
I looked it up and found that the grayish creamy oil is from moisture....before this the oil looked like it had water in it...so I guess should I drain the tank and engine of all gas and put fresh gas in it? The gas was pretty old in there. What could cause moisture in the mix?

just a thought do you pressure wash the bike with a bung in the silencer ,white oil would be moisture ,could be hot engine then in cool place condensation inside pipe or extremes of weather got very cold then mild,metal sweating condensation in pipe ,i take it the coolant level doesnt keep going down
chris-mets:
I dont pressure wash my bikes. I use a rag with fantastik... The yz is the bike that barely gets hot. The coolant level is stable. Im guessing the gas is just moistury from being at a low level sitting in the tank?
