Buy the cheapest oil you can, and lots of it. Buy Three oil filters. Change the oil, run it for 10 minutes. Repeat this until you have no signs of water in your oil, but keep the same oil filter on it. Now change the oil with the same cheap oil, and a new filter, and run it for 10 min again. Now change it again with the oil you want in your wheeler, and the third new filter, and you should be good to go. Expensive and time consuming mistake, but not as exspensive as it would be if you didnt clean it properly and rode it anyway!

Add 1 qt. of Marvel Mystery Oil in place of one of the quarts of cheap oil when you change. It will help get the moisture out of your oiling system.

They all blow some color out at first when not warmed up, if it doesnt quit after a while, then Panic
