It happens when you have a leak someplace, but leaking coolant INTO the transmission isn't as common a leak as some others..like leaking tranmission oil INTO the crankcase.

Is your bike also 'losing' coolant?

Have you ever drowned your bike (sucked water into the carb)?

I presume you have changed the oil a couple of times and it keeps turning white?

I read, 'My oil still white!!!' to mean you had done something with it..and it was still white.

It may be as simple as a condensation problem.

HAS your bike suffered a drowning? It can take a few oil changes for that 'milky' effect to go away.

No my bike never do this before. Maybe this happened cause I remove the right side cover to change my kick shaft spring, but I just remove it and put it back like always.

Perhaps I put something wrong there?

So I just have to change the oil some time to take out this problem?

What problems can cause this to my bike?

There is a seal for the waterpump drive shaft that will leak water into the clutch oil. Sometimes it's just the seal that needs to be replaced. Sometimes the shaft is grooved and also must be replaced.

QC..oh yeah...that part....

Change the oil..see if IT gets milky. If it does..something IS leaking...and QC probably has it right.

Can I ride with this problem?

What can happen If I keep riding with this problem?

I would not ride my bike with water in the transmission. You could ruin it. Fix the problem then have more fun riding without worrying about what could happen.
