Default Foam in tranny fluid.

Recently just put a new clutch cable in. Filled tranny with 85-140. Started bike let warm up good. Tranny fluid is really foamy and coming out of the vent tube. Any suggestions or any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here`s what is missing from your post:

Model and year of motorcycle.

How much lube you put in.

If all else is OK you may simply be using an unsuitable oil. You have the wrong spec by the look of it, so use a suitable brand and correct grade. My Baker came with Spectro!
