hi everyone,
This is probly the most stupidest post you'll ever read. The guy at the shop when i bought my bike gave me a simple run down of basic maitenance, at the time i didnt have a manual, and it came to the point where i decided to change my oil.
This was my first bike (2000 RM 125), and i loosened the radiator screw thing, and drained out all my rad fluid. I thought it was read that the oil was a greenish color, but being the idiot i am, i paid no attention to it. Then i pour in XXX ml. of oil (i forget the exact amount but it was correct). So now i had double the amount of oil in my bike(suprisingly it didnt overflow or anyhting), and i had no radiator fluid in my bike.
I rode it a few times then stored for the winter, and then the next summer i rode a few more times, and it was running ok, then one day it just didnt start. Now it starts ok, but i put in a new carb (thats a whole other story), and the jets were all off, and i have rad fluid now, and the correct amount of oil, and a lot of excessive white smoke when i start it.
AND NOW MY QUESTION:
Is my bike really screwed now after all that. How bad is it to ride with double the amount of oil and no rad fluid ?
Could it possibly just my jetting is off, is that the white smoke and bad running ?
Thanks a lot for your time, and advice,
Dirty kid
