I have a 98 yz250 that's been sitting for a few weeks. I went to change the oil and hardly anything came out. I put .75 litres in as the manual states and its smoking like crazy and oil is spitting out the tailpipe. It was running fine a couple weeks ago no smoke at all. What should I do? Just run it til it stops smoking?

Sounds like a crank seal leaking.
I did a little more research and thought the same...is that an expensive fix? I don't really know enough to do it myself
But thanks for the advice
Don't know what a shop would charge, but probably 50 bucks or so for seals,gaskets,and oil,if you do it yourself....and remember this, no one knew how to do something till they did it they're self the first time, If you want to tackle it, I suggest getting a manual first, and pay attention to everything you take apart. It's really not hard at all. When you look at the crank seals pay attention to the sealing surface of the crank for scoring or grooves. Good luck.
my buddy just had this happen on his 02, we had to top him off all day lol
