I changed oil today at 220 km and I am glad I did. The oil was not burnt but had a chalky look to it different than anything I have seen. I will change it again every 200k to 1000.
But I think it is a good runner pulled a good wheelie today it was fun Speedo is five miles off when I was doing 60 my gps said 65 I thought I was going faster that it was reading I am very happy with this bike and I saved about 500$ with the don't miss the boat deal putting some real thought in a RX3 or RC3 I sure at so point I will have some problems with it but you don't need a crystal ball to know that

I really doubt you'll have much trouble with it though. The Hondoid CG motors are so simple and have proven to be quite bullet proof. They even tell you when it's time for a valve adjustment because they get harder to start. I'm hoping to hear something on my TT delivery this week some time....but Sara says they're swamped so I'm not holding my breath. Take yer time, get it right, is my thought.

Yeah I know what that looks like. If it is water the oil will musafi and break down this was different I don't think there is any problems just suggesting a early oil change the oil screen was clean no flakes or metal bits so far so good

That's good that there weren't any flakes or chunks of metal. The chalky color does seem odd though. Was the oil still smooth but looking kinda like coffee with cream in it? Did it smell any different from usual oil? I have usually seen water and oil mixtures become a bit emulsified like I think you said, but with enough agitation, they could mix thoroughly enough to be smooth. Has your bike gotten wet yet?

Cool. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just whatever manufacturing junk was still in the engine. As long as the bike keeps working, I guess that's what counts!

Pics of the TT250 on Trail
Just got back from a long weekend in the mountains with the TT. Riding forest services roads and jeep trails in the San Isabel NF in South Central Colorado in the Sangre de Cristo's. Rode to about 11,000 feet til we hit the snow line. Couldn't stop smiling.
