Recently had my starter motor replaced on my hyperstrada and after that i’ve been suffering with milky oil, i’ve had the oil and filter replaced after a few hundred miles but it has returned almost instantly is this a result of the engine casing not been sealed properly?
Good long run to proper temperature, then when parking up at home take the oil filler cap off, will let moisture escape. Don't let any crap fall in or ride off without refitting.
Normal, happens worst during short runs and in the winter cooler months. With my fugley I simply, as cream says, rest the bike up after a ride, take out the oil filler cap and put a bit of kitchen roll in, just blocking the hole. Next day most of the milkyness has gone but some remains.
I do a 30 mile round trip to work and back the temperature has been between 5 and 10° and the bike temperature doesn’t to go over 60°
cover the radiator? Gaffer tape - for the proddie racer look cardboard - for the london cabbie look I'm sure ducati will sell a set of expensive carbon fibre radiator covers.
Need to ride it a bit harder, keep one gear lower than normal. Remember peak power is made higher up the rev range and power is converted into heat so more power equals more heat and so the moisture content will be evaporated off. A few degrees increase showing on your temp gauge should solve the problem. You also get a better exhaust note which is always good.
Hair dryer used sensibly(don't burn/melt the seal)on the window with the oil Filler cap off will clear it,
