Ok. So I did an oil change and changed the oil filter on my and my wife's 250's. Oil change went smoothly on my bike. When I did the oil change on my wife's bike, the oil came out very thinned out and smelled strongly of gasoline. I replaced the oil filter and put in some new oil. Started the bike up and ran for 5 minutes and it was fine. Two days later it kind of smells like gasoline in my garage and went to start up her bike and it won't kick over and makes a loud noise. Anyone know what could be wrong. It's been one problem after the next with this bike. Bike stalled a couple weeks back and we thought it was due to the battery. Replaced the battery and bike was running fine, but now this issue, so guessing it was this issue all along. Going to try and find a mechanic but idk how to even get the bike there.
