    Broken-Down Baby on 36

    Yeah, my little SV and I were just out for a nice little ride...it was approximately a mile long because at that point she decided not to run anymore. (wow, animating this story with emoticons is so fun!) I pushed her through the left turn lane and parked, whereupon a nice hippie gave me a ride back to my house.

    Pretty sure I overfilled her with oil (long story and wow I'm really embarassed...), and of course motorcycles run on gas, not oil. So I need to drain some out and go from there. Hopefully she'll start back up and I can ride home...

    I'm in class from 4-5.40 but after that I'm going to try to get my baby home.

    Anyway, thought I'd ask for advice/suggestions on what to do!!!

    So...you filled the gas tank with oil? Or did you put too much oil in the crank?

    started losing power, realized lots of black smoke was coming out the exhaust, oil light went on, bike died completely. This all happened probably within the course of 10 seconds.

    Was it dripping any oil when you parked it?

    Thanks for offer on the ride; fortunately I was able to get a ride home and grab my car before class. So I'm not stranded.

    I will be heading back out to the bike after class (a little before 6) so that is when I'll need help.

    Just want to give a big shout out to Jeff and Dirk. You guys are awesome. Completely saved our butts. Turns out there was a little more oil in the engine than needed. But thanks again guys

    Just another reason to appreciate our little dysfunctional family. As strange as we are, we never second guess helping each other.
