so when I was riding the other day my bike started getting real boggy. I also noticed that every 10 minutes or so after I added coolant to the radiator it was empty again. so what did the genius do you ask? kept refilling it. Eventually my bike died and I couldnt start it. I took it into the shop to get it fixed and the mechanic told me that (if i remember correctly) a gasket had blown which allowed all of the coolant to leak into the engine (which explains why i had to keep filling it). So I had a engine full of coolant. He told me that it would basically cost more to fix the bike than what it is worth and offered my $100 bucks for the thing. So is my bike gone beyond repair? What needs to be done to fix it? I was thinking if I just drained the engine of all the coolant and oil etc. than put a new gasket on so that it doesnt leak coolant anymore put some new engine oil in and the bike is good to go? yes? no?
