hey guys. Decided to change my fluids again at 2600 miles. Changed everything myself at 600 with motul fluids.

Well im aware theses diffs have vents. I just had my bike ceramic coated. Im thinking the power washer got water in it.

Has anyone else drained there diff to find fluid looking like this??

Wow ! Not sure what to do in your case. Try removing the breather and see if it has the filter media in it. Oh and keep the power washer away from the final drive.

Understood! I usually dont use a power washer just regular old tap. Is that the top black cap? How do you remove it?
 
That top black cap is the breather. I can see where a power washer could foce water in the vent. Its definitely water. You going to have to fill her up run it a few miles to mix the water with the oil. Then drain and repeat until you just get oil. I wouldn't pressure wask it anymore if I were you.

Got a hunch the bike can stand more than the rider. Never seen barnacles on a motorcycle...
