Yesterday i went for a ride in the hill country, the creeks were higher than expected and crossing 1 of them i drowned my bike. Got the bike on dry land, removed spark plugs and drain the cylinders and the engine restarted.
I check the oil view port and sure enough the oil was milky. The bike is a 2011 1200 GS and i use full synthetic oil, i didn't have much choice than running the engine (low rpm) to the nearest town and look for oil. When i stopped at a local autozone, the milky look of the engine oil has significantly reduced, i decided to proceed home, about 50 mi into the return trip, i stopped for oil inspection and there was no sign of water in the oil.
Is it normal for water not to mix with synthetic oil and simply evaporate?
