[QUOTE="Harnic, post: 1174655, member: 29301"] Maybe it's the Yamalube. I stay away from factory oil/fluids & use Motul full synthetic in the engine & final drive. Of course the mineral oil that was changed out until the break-in period was over was pretty gross, but now the engine/gear oil comes out in pretty fine shape & I get the added protection of synthetic. I too change the final drive oil every year & so far (2012 model which I bought new) I've changed the engine oil three times yearly at the recommended intervals. I've never seen any "milkyness" in the synthetic. Give it a try. :-) You're adamant there's no water & unless you use a pressure washer to clean the wheels it's highly unlikely water would get in there. [/QUOTE]
