hey everyone im new at this and im not sure how this works but i have a 450r and its leaking oil and its mixed white color were do i go to find out info thnks

 

Welcome to KF

First of all, check your manual. Definitely sounds like a coolant/gasket leak somewhere. A leak down test should test the head gasket and top end. I would also be su****ious of the water pump seals. (I do not have a manual on this ride but a look at the parts fiche should help you)

 

I went to the dealer and they changed the upper headgaskets on the top end or something nd i paid 800 nd i wanna know if i got ripped off but now they telling me its leaking from the crankcase i feel like something fishy is going on let me know what u thinkthanks

 

Like they telling me i burned the gears from over heating the bike or something like that i feel like there trying to rip me off

 

Is this even possable?

 

wow....$800 for a gasket change is unreal...! I need you as a customer (if I was a mechanic). But as I mentioned above, I have not played with the 450r nor do I have the manual. So I could be off in my time and material costs.

If you ran the bike with bad oil, the gear surfaces and bearings will burn and start to gall from improper oiling. So yes, it is possible. However, that would not cause the issue of how the coolant got into the crankcase to begin with.
This is where I was curious on if the water pump gasket or 'O'-ring was causing a coolant leak into the crankcase.

edit: see gasket 11061 in the fiche
