Could you have some damage? Sure, check your sight glass for milky or foamy oil. If you overheated it bad, you just might need a head gasket/oil change and hopefully nothing else. If it's foamy, STOP running the engine and change the oil or you could f-up more of the internals. |
I refilled the radiator with new coolant already. I will drain the coolant system once i get back home. As for the engine oil, i will check that as well. I heard something sucking while i was riding back home yesterday. It was like that for a good 10 or so miles until i finally got off the freeway. Bike wont start as well but ill start from there. As for the no start it cranks it just doesnt want to crank to the point where it starts
