Motorcycle Repair: oil site glass, kawasaki ninja 500, motorcycle oil


Question
Hi Chris!

I notice on my ninja 500 there's a white material
that coated the inside of the oil site glass, almost looking like white paint.  I just had the motorcycle oil changed a few weeks ago, part of its 10,000 km maintenance performed. I called the shop and asked them the same question and they said not to worry as the  oil looks normal as oil should ,(the oil isnt white).  I just cant figure out what that white coating is.  

Thanks for your time and help,

Answer
Hi Gary.
 Those mechanics may know engines, but they do not know oil.

 That white stuff is a fungus that grows in oil that has had water in it for a long time.  You need to flush the engine with an engine flush treatment and replace the oil with fresh oil.

Good luck.
