Son tipped over his KX65 in a water crossing and it took in a lung full of water. We let it sit till we could get the truck to pick it up. Brought it home and immediately changed the oil. I changed the oil twice in the same day hoping to get most of the bad "white" oil out. It has been a week and I can still see a hint of white in the inspection window. Any recomendations on how to make sure ALL the white oil has been removed or is what I did enough.

Thanks

If it's just a slight 'hint' of water, a good long ride might do the trick. Getting the engine hot for a long period of time will help the water evaporate.

I had similar problem with KTM 65.
Turned out water was sticking to plastic sight glass.
There was actually no water in oil.
Removed & cleaned sight glass - end of problem.
For some reason, moisture adheres to plastic sight glass.
