I just had a 250R that the oil was white also, it ended up being a head-gasket.

My oil has looked like that before, b/c I got some water in her, from creek'n. Either that or your leaking antifreeze somewhere.

Maybe its your waterpump seal. I had the same problem on my dirtbike about a year ago by the time I found out what was wrong it was to late and I had to rebuild the top end again.

Did you check/replace the water pump shaft and seals? I would check if you haven't.
