What is wrong with my dirt bike?
I have a Honda CRF 250X 2004. I haven't run it in about a year. I fired it up today. I let it run for about 30 minutes. Then it over heated and coolant leaked out. It has oil and the radiator has fluid. It also has coolant. What do you think could be issue?
You overheated it by idling for a 1/2 hour. It needs air movement to cool it.
It is owned by an idiot.
I never like to be the bearer of bad tidings, but anytime coolant mixes with oil, the block may be cracked. It could also be a bad head gasket, but either way you're going to have to take the engine apart and inject it with crack-sensing dye to see where it failed.
"the radiator has fluid. It also has coolant." The radiator fluid is the coolant, dude. The issue is the operator's lack of basic knowledge concerning his motorcycle.
You idled a race bike?
30 seconds idle - tops. Either warm it up and thrash, or turn it off.
Sell the bike.
You don't ride enough to own a bike, get rid of it.
You idled it for 30 min. It would be expected to overheat. Most bikes run hot or overheat when idling.
- Where can i buy a cheap dirt bike? Hi i'm 13 years old and i live in california. I'm saving up for a 125cc dirt bike (probably honda). I was wondering where i can find a good place to buy one that would be cheap. I've seen ones that are around 1000 dollars and i was wondering if there's anything good that would be cheaper or around that. If you can also please tell me if this would be a good bike for me i'm around 5,1. So if you can help me find a good dirt bike that would be great!
- What's wrong with my dirt bike? I have a 2001 Honda xr100r. The bike has been running great earlier today, but just now out of nowhere it won't run past 1st gear. It starts fine and I can move in first gear, but when I shift to second it bogs and turns off. What could have happened? Is it the transmission? I was riding just fine an hour ago.
- What's wrong with my dirt bike? - 2 It won't change from 1st gear to second gear, when I try to change gears into second it just goes back to neutral. I'm pushing the gear changing up enough hat it should be changing into second but it just won't. And yes I'm using the clutch when I change gears. I started to get this problem with my bike (Honda) when I got stuck going up a super steep and slippery hill at a motocross place. Anybody know?
