do you have picture bro?

check your radiator coolant if its low.

try to do the ff:

1. fillup the radiator coolant reservoir to the correct level.
2. drain your oil and put new oil.

now after sometime, check again your oil if theres still water.
ALSO check your radiator coolant reservoir if the level decreases.
it might be your radiator coolant is mixing with the engine oil.
some rubber oil seals might be leaking...

OR it might be, some stupid jokers there put some detergent powder soap in your engine oil.

Drain the oil
Use Diesel to rinse 3-4 times ( Pour in the diesel, start the engine, slowly increase the throttle about 3-5 minutes, then drain out).
Put new oil.
But at first, you must check why the water can go in.Maybe not normal water, that is coolant water.Check all the rings, seals of water pump, ....

or if it is brand new bike,just go to distributor,or service center to settle your prob bro...
 
what colour your engine oil when you drain it...

if like foam.. it's not the water..
it's your engine oil...

if water mixed with your engine oil..
it'll be lookalike tea+creamer...

i'll take a pic tomorrow because i dont have any foam there now because i wiped it off :p
But i'll check my radiator this weekend.. because i think my antifreeze is leaking into my bottom half..
After like 5 mins of riding my bike my oil light comes on :(

and my oil does look like tea+creamer :( and the color of the foam is purple because i used royal purple oil and antifreeze.

and no my bike is not new any more its about 7 months old now..

and i may try the diesel rinse too because at this point i'll try any thing i dont want my bike to seize on my :(

HEY BRO, IF YOU THINK IT'S REALLY LEAKING, GET A BLACK LIGHT, THIS LIGHT MAKE LITE COLORS GLOW, BUT ANYWAY, DRAIN YOUR OIL, THEN GO INTO A VERY DARK ROOM, TURN ON A BLACK LIGHT, IF THERE IS ENGINE COOLANT IN YOUR OIL IT WILL GLOW.


SORRY GUYS FOR THE CAPS.

hi ya boss,
first procedure, check ur engine, especially on head cyl area, is there any water leakage ? if yes, then
the reason water got into the system, some of the frequent causes is :

1. check the bolt on ur cam chain gear, here in Indonesia some early production batch already has that kind of problem, look at the parts list manual book code 5YP–E2157–00 BOLT, it's either not properly seated/tightened, or better to apply a little threebond sealer on it before tightening.
2. check engine gaskets, upper, apply threebond sealer on the head cyl gasket to prevent leaks.
3. check the tightening specification on head cyl bolts.
4. check this part 93103–10801 OIL SEAL on the water pump and the o-ring water pump.

Hope this helps.
Recommend to flush ur engine first with diesel fuel or an aftermarket engine flush. Then apply that X**O revitalizant to protect the engine.

if water will mix with oil, i guess there'll be some white spots on it...if this happens, for sure there's a leak somewhere in your cylinder gasket, go to your dealer and let them check right away bro...check the coolent, if level lowers down, it simply means you need to check it asap...water and oil system of our bike is separate...IMHO

i thinks its with your coolant.

oil when mixed with water or any liquid will not foam.
even if you stir it, it will not foam.

maybe the coolant you have in there have some soapy material.
flush it out several times until its totally cleaned.

update us bro

guys hope to get some feedback, i have the same problem but in my case the "creamy" looking mixture of the oil and coolant is pouring out in my engine breather. I pull out my engine breather hose and position it in near my rearset when look at my rearset its full of the creamy stuff. its like a white colored grease. hope somebody can help me figure this out. thanks..
