For the first 10 or 15 miles, my window looks like this:




It goes away after being up to operating temp for a spell and the moisture cooks out.

If so it may just be condensation build up on the sight glass, my SV used to do that with alot of short journey work and my GSXR does the same.
The right answer.

It sounds just like emulsified oil. Water-condensation. Take it for a longer run and when you get back it will have all gone. Is the coolant level dropping, I cant imagine so on something this new but these things can happen. Or get oil change done but to clean all the nooks and crannies may take a while. A garage may charge quite a bit.
