Has the bike been sitting for a few days or weeks? With the recent cold weather it is probably just condensation...take it for a good ride and check in the morning

I don't see it, is it the fluffy cloud that looks like a little bunny?

Seriously though, is the cloudiness in or above the oil level?

I would drain it and see if there is coolant in the oil.
It will separate after sitting in the drain container.
If it is just oil, then you just had condensation.
Better safe than sorry, IMO.

Not the milky cloud I was expecting. Change the oil and filter, top off the water and take her for a ride. What year is he bike and how many miles ?
