I was hoping to get some help with the Katana I just purchased. I believe the bike has been sitting stored for a few years before I got it judging by the rust dust that corroded one of the carbs I replaced. I got the bike running but the new oil I refilled the motor with has turned milky very quickly. Here's my question is it possible this could be a problem from the bike sitting for so long? Here some detailed info of bike it has 5,565 miles, I purchased it on 9-01-12 I got it started for the first time 9-26-12. The chain is pretty rusted and the tags have not been updated since 2009. The motor was also locked when I got it. Thanks!

Cleaned and replaced carbs
Put sea foam down spark plug holes
Checked compression 3 cylinders read 150 psi cylinder #4 read 60 psi
Manually turned motor
Drained and replaced oil
Started engine
Bike is now turning engine oil milky really fast
Bike is also blowing white smoke through exhaust pipe and front of engine
I'm thinking engine overhaul is in order

This will make it blow white smoke, also could be condensation. Do another oil change and see what it looks and smells like.Must read for carb tuners......http://www.factorypro.com/tech/tech_...m_engines.html

If it truly is condensation, ride it or let it run and see what happens. If you're set on looking for another engine, (which I don't think you need to) you really have nothing to lose.Must read for carb tuners......http://www.factorypro.com/tech/tech_...m_engines.html
