Just did a engine oil and final drive oil change. Since I'm a former GSA rider I've learned to to FD oil changes along with engine oil to keep an eye on things. The drained FD oil (Yamaha's brand GL5) was emulsified, I presume with a small amount of water….came out kinda pea green looking. I did a fairly deep, axle deep water crossing a few weeks ago and presume thats where the water came from. Word of caution here, check your FD lube if your offroad and see water, keep your vent above the waterline I guess….
