Ya, that’s what I’m hoping. Thanks Steve. BTW, after a couple martinis I posted a song.

The whitish buildup around the dipstick is a clear sign of the engine, and the oil, not getting up to temperature enough to evaporate the residual moisture buildup from multiple short trip runs. The machine needs to spend minimum 1/2 hr out on the highway, it will quickly disappear.

This afternoon, after riding to coffee I pulled the plugs. #1&2 looked a bit rich, #3&4 looked a bit lean. Turned the air screws out 1/8 turn on 1&2 and in 1/8 turn in on 3&4. Try it again tomorrow maybe.

So I’m getting quite a bit of white, milky foamy stuff on the underside of the oil filler/dip stick. I know this indicates water in the crankcase. What could be the cause? What might be a remedy?
The bike sat for many, many years. I drained the oil, new oil and filter. Could it be residual moisture from its long sleep? It was very probably put away wet and forgotten.
