Hi Matthew welcome to Ninjette!
As long as you didn't try to start it in hydrolocked condition, you should be fine. Drain all oil/gas mixture from crankcase, refill with fresh oil and engine should be OK. Sight glass is for looking at oil-level on glass surface itself, ignore everything you see behind it (clutch). Last futzed with by DannoXYZ; October 12th, 2021 at 12:07 PM. |

I drained the crankcase i think bottom 17mm bolt where oil filter comes out correct? there is still that mixture inside after draining or am i missing another bolt to drain it? Sorry for noob questions i just dont want to pay for a tow if my new bike is toast i just bought it.

further suggest pulling spark plugs, cranking engine over for a few seconds to rid chambers of fuel leftovers Use an old towel (or shop rags) over each spark plug hole as fuel will spray out/up quite a bit. I perform 2 oil changes in such bikes to fully rid them of fuel, during the 2nd changing filter as well. PS the carb "overflow" hose doubles as a vent hose....must be left fully clear and unkinked to breathe. Do not plug the end.

Or stick around and learn, and you won't have to pay to have others to do the simple maintenance jobs. You might be surprised at how many problems I read about that were caused by a "mechanic".

Yeah, there are many shops that rush and mess up simple procedures. Such as installing CBR250R (MC41) oil-filter backwards and destroying engine! You can do search here and find how-to guides for everything from adjusting mirrors to complete engine removal and rebuilds.
I'm just down street from you if you want to come over and help me with oil-change to see how it's done. Gonna change oil in my 2002 250, 2009 250R and 1986 VFR750F this coming week. |
