    Oil Aeration

    Since changing the lines on my oil cooler ("83 1100G) my oil seems to have some tiny bubbles. I changed it and it still looks that way (after startup and a brief idle). I'm sure it's probably not good. Any ideas what could cause this? Do you need to pre-fill the lines or anything like that?

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

    Could be a leak drawing air in somewhere ? Generally the higher pressure side of things.

      Well, the first time I noticed it, it persisted. This time after changing the oil, it showed after a warmup but today after doing about 60 miles, it looks fine. Guess I was just over-thinking.
