[Shazaam!]

After a long ride at temperature, the crankcase ventilation system should have pulled off any water in the oil caused by simple condensation. You're seeing more water than that so I'd suspect that it's probably coolant that leaking past the water pump seal.

I'm not sure if the SS & Supersport section covers more bike models than I know of; but my '97 750 SS is air-cooled (luckily!).

But then again, the British version of "hot summer days" may not reach up to the standard required . . . .

I'd prefer to flush out the emulsified condensation with the old oil before filling the sump with top-of-the-line synthetic oil, but then again, perhaps high-tech additives in the latter is required to solubilise the condensation?
