First of all thanks this forum for a LOT of valuable information helped me to perform all work for only 2 hours.
During the maintenance I had a few surprises.

#1 One spark plug was loose (WTF#1) the milage is only 2000 km.
#2 All spark plug's gap were 1mm+ . I adjusted it following the manual to 0.6-0.7mm.
#3 After opening right cylinder, I saw oil/water emulsion??? please the pictures.
However, the oil on dipstick is perfect. The old oil after change is nice and clean, no evidence of any emulsion.

Wow. It looks like you not riding the bike far enough to get it good and hot before shutting it down.
 
loose plug was on the left side, the issue on the right

I know... it was my first guess as well.
