Draining the oil out of my 1150 today and this is the colour.. green/yellow? Sounds like the bike sat for a while. Bike runs. Normal?

No signature :( -
Rislone is green and I believe that there is a brand of oil that is also.
Wolf's Head perhaps?

i'm guessing this is the first drain since you bought it and this oil is from the PO? i would guess maybe an additive of some sort? or maybe some water in it from condensation / sitting? pretty strange...Comment

Looks like anti-freeze. Anti-freeze would be bad.Comment

The Motul full synthetic that i use in one of my bikes is green.
It changes to brown by the time you change it.
Did yours have an odour? Did the proper amount drain out?2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

That is odd.I've seen green fork oil but never green engine oil.Seeing as the 1150 is air cooled I somehow doubt it's an antifreeze leak.Given the PO's weird ideas(thinking about that airbox)I'd think it was some of the more "exotic" oils others have mentioned.Comment

Lol..... Yeah ok ... On an 1150!?... Zip radiator on there fellaOriginally posted by wkmpt View Post
It's not coolant, it's sure as hell not anti freeze... There are oils out there that are actually that colour. I use some no name mineral oil here that is that colour out of he tin and new. Not all things are equal...Comment

Maybe Duckhams that has been in the motor well past it's sell by date, considering when last I saw it on the shelves.
