I understand this is beating a dead horse. However I have new information.

I have never ridden in the rain. There is no chance water somehow penetrated my primary through the clutch cable as we thought. (HA I SAID PENETRATED)

My cover was thick milky, hard to wipe down (it would not run or drip...it was thick). My oil was fine when I saw it by tipping the bike towards me. Anyone have any other answers on this?

This is the first time in 2 primary oil changes I have seen the milk. The bike is coming up on 11,000 miles.

I plan on fully changing the fluids in both holes now (HAHA I SAID BOTH HOLES).
 
I've never ridden mine in the rain and i still get the goo. mostly during winter time, must be condensation.

BOTH HOLES

better take it easy[cool]
 
Had the same prob with mine, yogurt on the clutch insp cover. Posted this question earlier on another thread but, anyone use Seafoam in the primary?
 
Transmission Fluid works well in that situation. Doesn't matter what type AS LONG as you don't leave it in for more than 25/miles.
Plus it still lubes it somewhat and after just maybe 20/miles you can change (after reinspection) and it is effective. Seafoam is good for some areas and not depending on wear and it is hard to get out of a transmission like a Buells.OR any Engine unless you run another lube through it once the seafoam has been changed but that may take up to 3 total changes like for an Automobile etc...
REMEMBER Seafoam is highly Flamable!UH! Aircooled!over 300/degrees etc!! Of course it it will clean [the seafoam] very well, but does not lube the parts good enough to ride it more than maybe a 1/4- mile. Stick to transmission fluid for your rinsing so when you change it out at least you only will do it once,and the small amount of Transmission fluid left up in the gear box AND Bearings also the Clutch basket, Won't BE breaking down the Synthetic LIKE seafoam will!!
Seafoam is great for Diesels injectors AND Fuel injection systems with buildup deposits from Gasoline fuels.Yes it is right on the CAN works on a lot of areas and so on. TOO much can hurt but just be carefull about overdoing it.If you go that route then make sure to re-rinse it out TWO times with some Transmission Fluid. In my Opinion no way I would use SeaFoam in that situation. Good Luck !*Jimi[confused]
 
Jimi, I wasn't suggesting running 100% straight Seafoam in anything. I was asking if anyone had added Seafoam to their engine oil or primary case oil in the proportions suggested in the directions, i.e. roughly 1 fluid ounce per 1 quart of oil.
 
short rides are likely culprit i have never seen milk in mine summer or winter rain or shine 20,000 plus. but i seldom just go for spin.
