That is actually pretty clean compared to how mine was. How many miles on the bike?

Alot cleaner than mine was. I think the extreme humidity here explains why mine was so dark.

I have heard if you drink just a bit of it, it cures worms.

Looks like swamp water The color in part is from heat, the bits are rubber seal. Most often what makes clear BF black is bits of seal. These black rubber seals skuff the cly bores and bits of them come off in time with wear and tear.

A point in time with use comes when the seals say si an a' ria.
