I have only had my Lowrider for a few weeks. I changed the trans fluid and noted a milky looking fluid. Is this normal. I went with Redline and noticed it had a pinkish appearance. The mileage is 9200 miles.

 

I doubt that a milky looking any oil is normal. Somehow, some amount of water got in there. I would drain that oil out, may need to be done a few times to help eliminate whatever is contaminating your oil. It's a pain, but, will be worth it. Or get it taken to a shop that can flush it out for you.

 

Normal. same as how oil doesn’t look the same when it’s drained for a service. I run redline and it comes out slightly similar to pepto bismo

 

Redline is pinkish/red. i can't speak with great wisdom but, it i ran into this, i would run some new fluid through and sample it periodically.

 

I have run Red Line, but never had it come out milky. Sounds like water. If 9200 miles has been a while, it could be condensation. Either way, I change all 3 fluids at every engine oil change. It's only a bit more than a quart for the primary and tranny each...so not that pricey to keep everything clean.

 

No it is not normal..., milky color indicates there water in the oil

How it got there..., who can say - condensation..., cap removed while it was raining..., contaminated trans oil

Nevertheless - it needs removed - and the only way is to keep changing / replacing the oil - till the water (milky colored oil) is completely gone



Redline is red / pink in color


Evidently the po didn't maintain this bike very well - food for thought as you go through..., check / verify..., and maintain **** (every nut / bolt / screw / torque spec)

Normal

 

Did you read the previous posts?

Milky is not normal for any lubricating fluid.

Edit add:

 

Water condensation in an enclosed cavity will cause a milky appearance. To get rid of this will require a drain and fill, possibly several times. If you are riding ing in weather 50* or cooler condensation is prevalent in cold cavities. If the exhaust shows water vapor out the end then the chances for milky oil is high. The engine and trans. has to get to operating temp. for about 45mins. to an hour.

 

I use Redline and this is totally normal. Redline trans fluid is looks milky pink when fresh going in. Why would you think there is something wrong when it still looks milky pink coming out?
