My riding buddy's KX500 does the same thing; looks like water but after it sits a while, it clears up. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you know it's not water. How to tell? Heat the oil up in a pan on the stove above 212 degrees. If there was water in it, steam and a lot of popping noise will come from the oil as the water boils out.

There is air in the gearbox. Churning gears will make the air and oil mix. No problem.

I got stopped for speeding and the cop asks me "Don't you know the speed limit is 55 miles per hour?" So I said "yeah but I wasn't gonna be out that long."

How is your transmission vent hose ran? Is it clogged any, by any chance?
