Water in Transmission ?
2009 Softain Deluxe 6 speed. I changed all three holes and had gray oil in the tyranny. How did water get in the transmission ? The filler/level plug was tight.

Side question (may or may not be relevant):
Do you live in an area were condensation is prevalent?
If you do it is highly possible that is the culprit.
I have issues with it in my area if the bike sets to long.
That is unless you keep your bike in a heated area with not much humidity change/variation.
Just a thought

Only one logical answer to this: when your washing your sled water is getting into something. I don't know how or where but if you've never ridden in the rain then it's gotta be from washing your bike.

If the bike sits and never gets up to operating temp to burn off the condensation it will happen.

I'm not buying the riding in the rain. I've ridden many hundreds of miles in the rain, some of it in hard driving rain and I've never had water in the tranny. I've never had humidity do it either. I'm thinking maybe it's when washing. Is the o-ring on the dipstick good and do you hit the engine and tranny with a hard spray from a hose nozzle?
