Oils and Squeals

Hi chaps,

Took the bike for a long hard blast yesterday which ended in a 60km stretch at 120+mph - awsome sweeping bends, no traffic and no cameras cops etc etc.

Anyway, this morning I went to check my oil. Warmed her up for a couple of minutes and let her sit. It had used a fair bit and I also noticed a thin layer of white stuff sat on top of the oil in the sight glass. Any clues or ideas. I presume it's condensation or something along those lines.

Also noticed there is a high pitched squeal when I pull the clutch lever in. Goes when I release the lever and doesn't do it when she's warm.

Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated as always.

The white scum is water some of the oil has emulsified so get it really warm the do an oil change.

Ocasionally my cluthch squeals when cold normally after I have given the bike the beans with the pressure washer.
