Frothy oil Started my bike this morning, it started up fine but it was backfiring a lot just warming it up so I shut it down. I checked the fluids, the coolant was fine but the oil is frothy & more froth & bubbles are raising up as it sits. Help please?!!!

If it has a white color to it I would say you have a water leak into your oil some where head or jug gasket.
It could be a normal thing for your bike or the other could be getting a little exaust gases in the oil you should contact the dealer and see if it is normal for your bike. It is a good thing that you are not getting a while milky color to it. Again with the back fireing you could need a new plug or you could have lost a ring and that is causing exaust to get into your oil did your oil smell funny at all?
