i don't trust the coolant sealers.. they only cause problems down the road

 

like what kind of problems? clogging? i guess this stuff isnt supposed to ever clog or whatever, anyway im taking the bike to my voc class tomorrow to put the pressure tester on it mr big thats a great idea, thanks!

 

They contaminated the entire system.. pluss its just a cheep, temporary fix for a more serious problem down the road

 

typically a white substance in your oil indicates the presence of moisture...as far as the source it could be many things: contaminated oil, coolant leak, etc.

 

ok found the problem, pretty much what it came down to was the bike sat for more than a year, actually more like 2, and with condensation and everything, moisture got in, the past couple days ive been really feedin it to her and it has coocked away most if not all the goo (moisture). i was so happy this morning when i saw that there wasnt any more in the oil!!!!

 

glad to hear the good news...hate to have heard the you got a lemon of a bike. now you acn go out and have some fun on it!!

 

I know they have dry gas.. does anyone know of anything like dry oil?? [&:]

 

I'm a car mechanic, don't have much experience on bikes yet, but it's still an internal combustion engine, so I figure you can do the same thing we do with cars that have sat a while and collected condensation, which is run it hard so it all boils out of the oil. Best thing for cars is change the oil the drive em as much and as long as possible, would figure the same for a bike.

 

just an idea you could go get some uv dye and put some in with your coolant, coolant only. then run the bike for a bit. next drain the oil and use a uv light to check for the dye in your oil. that would tell you for sure if there is a coolant to oil problem such as a blown headgasket. good luck

 

yea, thats a good idea, but i already found the problem and its fixed now, but im gonna keep that in mind if it ever happens again
