I pulled my power valves to clean them and noticed a brown, watery liquid on valve #1 and #2. Three didn't have any. Looks to be coming from the cylinder somewhere. not sure though. Anybody have and idea what this is or cause? thanks
 
Just like x2ryder said ,its condensation mixed with oil that makes that chocolate milk looking substance.If the sled was warmed up prior, it probably wouldn't be there.Mine looked the same and the motor was cold.

there was kinda alot, enough to coat the #! and #2. but it wasn't like dripping. thanks for all the responses and more opions are helpful.
 
if it was watery then it most likely has to be condensation.tip the pipes upside down & see if water come out of them??.

no water in the pipes and i don't lose any coolant in my jug. so it must be condensation. thanks
 
Happens all the time especially if you work in a part-time heated garage. The temp swings create condensation and appear ar a milky substance on plugs, piston crowns, exhaust valves. I heat my garage with a Modine HD-45 hotdogger unit but it's only on when I'm in the garage so I get condensation in any 4 stroke crankcase in my garage. Last spring when I drained my Road King chaincase the first 2 ounces to come out was water.

Tony,
Never pulled the trigger... I'm sure there will be a day that the 4-strokes will be as light and perform as well as my Vipers but until that happens I'm staying on a 2-stroke. I dropped 24 #'s off my Viper this season so now it's a lightweight pocket rocket and like my boogers very flickable. How is your SRX? Still got the Boss HiRise on it? Wanna sell it back LOL?
