    fx650 vigor with white frothy oil

    Maybe someone can shed some light on this, I removed the starter motor from my vigor yesterday and when I took the cover off the gear mechanism I noticed that the oil in there was white frothy and seemed to be contaminated with water. The oil in the frame appears to be normal and was changed less than 3 months ago, is this due to condensation as I only use the bike for commuting 3 mile to work and back? Cheers for your comments.

    Reckon you're spot on with a bit of condensation.

    Nothing a good long ride won't fix, but do keep your eye on the oil level as it'll drop once the water evaporates.
