Completely normal. Air moisture condensation due to temp. change.

Same happens to me. A lot worse in colder weather. Kind of a builtin warning signal to change the oil a little sooner maybe.

I did once....After I rode it to work, about 8 miles. I started to flip out!!!! Checked the coolant reservour and it was still at the line. Took the oil cap off to see if I could see any "milkshake" in there, none. Rode it home, the long way and by the time I got there the glass was clear! Never happened again

That will happen if the engine is not ridden enpugh to get it up to full temp "througout". That is one of the biggest problems that arises from machines being ridden / driven for short distances only. I always take the long way to work to prevent that!
