  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc WR300 Water in the oil?

I just changed the oil in my 09 WR300. When I dropped the old oil, it looked kind of milky, so I decided to cycle the oil through one time. So I filled it, ran the bike for about 1 minute, then dropped the oil again. This time the oil was completely white with water.

I cycled the oil again with the same process, and this time the oil was still milky, but not as bad as the prior oil drop.

If this was a 4 stroke I would suspect coolant in the oil from a leaking head gasket or something, but is there any path through which coolant could get into the transmission oil of a 2stroke? I had the bike stored outside for 2 weeks because my car has been inside the garage being worked on where i usually keep this bike. Is there any way rain water could get in the transmission?

I change the oil as frequently or better than the manual suggests, and use Rotella 10W40. The bike has no leaks of oil, so there are no holes or cracks in the cases as far as I know.

Any idea what could cause this problem?
 
Curious, how did you get this fixed? Was it the water pump bearing?
I think I might have this same issue (definitely have coolant in my transmission oil) and looking for more info on how to fix it.
I have a 2008 WR250.
