4 stroke oil
- Thread starter sketchedlb
- Start date
Possibly blow your gaskets......it'll find the weak points and start leaking. Too much pressure!

....Pretty sure! As for the lack of oil you've drained is it possible you have "2" drain plugs? Not knowing what kind of bike you have, I could have sworn I read that some KTM's have 2 plugs...
...just a thought

My ktm (2 stroke) has 2 plugs, but you only need to open 1 to drain out all the oil.
this is precisely why i dont trust some shops... they have 3-4 people working on the same bike, and its really easy to forget to do something simple like say.. refill the engine with oil... unless you are having the shop do a complete rebuild of the engine, just change the oil yourself... if 150mL's all you got out you are seriously lucky you didnt blow your engine..
Ahhh, but whatI read made it sound like a PITA to change/fill...if that's not the case then why have 2 plugs?
Incase you strip one
Sure.......but really, not know why, isn't one for the case and one for the cylinder? I know the 4t's I've had all the oil ws for everything...haven't a clue for the KTM's
This is a 2t, trans oil only,,,,
Oh yeah...I forgot...so why 2 plugs?
I'm with him, I have another on my crank. Changing the oil and oil filter and its gone though.
What about the air screw?
A few weeks ago I also suffered a massive oil leak. I'd changed the oil and filter, but the filter cover lip had gotten a little bent and started losing oil. I ended up losing ~75% of my oil.Thankfully I caught it before it seized.
Scary isn't it..
Not all bikes have a sight glass, but if it does have one, it'd probably be by your right leg (Clutch cover).
If it's too full (and your breather hose is plugged) it can blow out a seal, otherwise it should just come out of the breather hose.
Would the oil come out the breather hose when the bike is running or motor off? So could i start the bike up and let it idle, and see if the oil appears ?
Oh and should i start a new thread on boots..? Cause i would like to get some advice.

Interesting, never seen that one.
The newer kawis have 2 drain bolts i think.
