Subject: (dr350) Bike Log ... new product

Listers,

Forwarded from another list.

All the usual disclaimers, I don't know the man and haven't checked it
out myself yet, but thought it might be a nice thing for some of the
people here.

Best,

Fellow listers,

I've developed a motorcycle log called "bike log".  It contains
ownership info, key specs & data and has logs for service, bike
modifications and trips.  It's compact (3 1/2" x 5 1/2"), efficient
and inexpensive.  Neat way to keep all your motorcycle info in one
place.

Check it out at www.bikelog.com

Subject: RE: (dr350) oil

Water vapor is one by-product of combustion. A small amount of the
combustion gasses, including vapor, blows past the rings into the crankcase.
Water vapor will condense and accumulate in the oil unless you run the
engine long enough for the oil to heat up and boil off the water.

Subject: Re: (dr350) oil


Iain,

You asked:

<< When I checked my oil the other day (99 DR 350 SE) there was a
small amount of light brown emulsion at the top of the dip stick.  The
oil on the stick looked normal.  I haven't submerged the bike but it
has been out in wet conditions (up to the axles).

Is the emulsion water in the oil? >>

Essentially, yes.

<<  Why is it there? >>

I'm assuming that you're riding in cold conditions for short
distances?

My 1993 does the same thing, and several bikes that I've had over the
years have done this.  My dad, a mechanic for 50 years so far, tells
me that some makes of car are particularly prone to it.  I don't know
exactly how it gets there, but the cure is generally to ride it until
the water gets cooked out of the oil, ie, longer distances.

<< Should I change the oil again (it was changed 250 miles ago)? >>

I've never bothered to, just simply tried to ride farther the next
time in an attempt to cook the condensation out.

Best,
