It will be condensation created inside the engine that causes it.

Do you run it for short rides?  If you do it can cause this.

There's no milky white stuff in there, is there?

Otherwise, as Winston says, most likely due to condensation. Take it for a good long ride.

all bikes get the condensation at the window !

take the oil out, if there is water in it from your coolant , it will be very obvious

however, his oil that is visible at the window does look very brown and muddy, id drop the oil and inspect for peace of mind

as others have said, every kawasaki i have had  got condensation on the inside of the inspection glass, if it had not been run enough, once it has been for a decent run it should clear up,dont want to be the bearer of doom and gloom but that looks like it has water that has emulsified on to the top of the oil.check the inside of your filler plug and see if it has a lot of creamy white residue on it,these are signs of water mixing with your oil,i would advise to get it checked to be on the safe side,,possible problems can be water pump,head gasket  or maybe it just wants a good run,,good luck.

As above with everyone else ... looks simply like condensation .... when the snow clears get out and give it a decent ride and get the engine HOT, proper HOT and the water will evaporate ... nothing to worry about   :rolleyes:

As long as there's no milky white stuff in there. If there is, then its the head gasket.

Drop the oil, flush through and replace with fresh

Take the bike for a long ride and check whilst you are out and again when you have returned and the oil has settled...it should be ok

If not then contact your dealer

When was the oil last changed?. If your bike does short runs i wuld exspect to see some condinsation.
If it was mine i would change the oil and filter and then recheck. If it happens again i would start to think about a poss head gasket problem,a water pump would not normaly cause this problem. H

that looks a bit to milky for condensation, did this happen just after warming the bike up then letting it cool down? how is the water level? at this time of the year short runs that don't give the bike time to reach the optimal temperature will cause condensation to build up. if you must start to warm the engine after been stood for a while, run the engine till the fan cuts on and off 3 times, then unscrew the oil cap and position slightly to one side, this will help any condensation to escape. providing your water level is where it should be i.e correct level "between the min and max mark. then I would change the oil and filter then take the bike for at least a 50 mile run, if it was condensation it will not show after a good run.

i had a 2008 gtr and if i used the power wash at our local garage the sight glass looked like it had water in it, it cleared when the bike warmed up and there was never any signs of water in the oil when changing it but it did look alarming every time i washed it

Tadcaster or Leeds I'd say. Either way another Northerner cant be a bad thing.

I'd never been to the place as a biker meet until Winston pointed me in the right direction.
