First oil analysis done on the ZZR.
Situation: Picked up the bike from the dealership after a valve clearance service, and noticed that the oil level glass was milky-cloudy. I looked inside the engine by removing the oil fill cap and saw quite a bit of "goop". I decided to ride the bike home and show my Dad. He tasted the "goop" and said "coolant" so I changed the oil immediately. This analysis is of the fresh oil that I put in, as I did not have any oil analysis kits at the time to test out the contaminated oil. The analysis shows positive for Glycol.
