Grouch Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi guys hope everyone is ok and not missing me too much. Hopefully I will get the bike sorted soon! The bike has stood in my garden for a good few months now with no oil in the engine. Will this damage the engine further>? Also I bet the battery is dead, what other things do I need to look for?

Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just don't start it with no oil in it Grouchy. Other things are the fuel going off in the tank and gumming up the carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I won't try starting it, even I wouldn't be that thick haha, because I took the casings off I have broken the seals, will oil just piss out if I fill it up without replacing them?

slice Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi Grouch welcome back, should not PISS out but will probably leak a bit, best not to. Fit new gaskets first then oil it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy xs Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 just put the casing back on, the side you took off has no oil in also put back any bolts you removed from the clutch side the (side you couldn't get off) if that is still the case you should be ok to put the oil back in, also check your forks give them a good clean and smear a bit of oil the stanchion unless you have gaiters on in that case just push down on the handle bars a few time to compress the suspension and take your battery off & give it a charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 what other things do I need to look for? A new bike, that *doesn't* need a metric fucktonne of maintenance just to get it running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
