Water in the oil!?!?

[iCraig]

Well I have just discovered loads of gunge under the filler cap of my GPZ, and I am quite worried.

The oil was changed less than 500 miles ago, and the coolant level has not changed as I check it everytime I use it.

So where is this water coming from?

If you don't know the bike is a 1995 Kawasaki GPZ500S.

is your oil filler cap sealing ok

Cold weather = condensation = mayo in cap.

Take it for a long run and it should all go. If your water level isn't dropping I wouldn't be overly worried, if you are just change your oil and keep an eye on it.

Have spoken to 2 mechanics today, and they both said the same thing.

According to them the GPZ is notorious for getting condensation in the engine and the gunge is exactly that.

Since the weather has gotten colder and I am only using the bike for short trips, its not getting up to temperature thus forming condensation.

Just taken the bike for a bloody good long run and got it well and truely up to temp and there is no gunge at all in the engine or under the filler cap.

Might want to take it on an extra long trip just to be one the safe side, really work it out.
South Wales should do it

Take the bike for a minimum 2 hour ride, that should get rid of the white looking paste, my GPX600R and GPZ400R suffer from this in cold weather.
