I changed the primary oil on my race bike yesterday and when I pulled the drain plug the oil that came out was a milky gray color! WTF! I have changed it several times and it has never come out looking like that. What the hell happened? I was running Amsoil MCV 20W-50 if that matters.

Sounds like water in your primary.

I had the same thing happen on the Uly.
I needed to adjust the clutch and when I went to loosen the cable a bunch of water ran out of the boot. NASTY water!
The inside of the inspection cover looked like chip dip.
I cut the bottom off the boot so water wont be able to collect there.
I also put a zip tie at the top of the boot with some grease for a added bonus.

LUBE the cable!

Yes,as Boney95 said; water has contaminated the oil. Now why is a good question.
