Default BIG problem with oil

I have an 05 650 V2. Love the bike.

ok so i went on a good ride today. however ran into a BIG problem. I had gone through a pretty good size mud hole and made it through. Wasn't really that deep just kind of rutty. Then I went through it again. Got stuck the second time.

After I got pulled out I kinda was noticen the bike was boggin down a little. Couldn't really open it up though cause we were on a trail.

After we got back to a gravel road I opened it up. Well didn't go but about 30 feet, turned around, then it died on me.

Here it gets good. I looked down and seen there was oil all over the place. On the motor on the gravel, it was crazy. I looked and couldn't really see anything wrong. So I got pulled home...about 20 miles.....ate dust really bad.

When I got home I checked the oil and there was NONE in it. I did notice a line kinda out of place. It was disconnected from something but I couldn't tell were it was suppost to go back in at. It was kind of hangin down on the side were the pull start is kind of under the exhaust cover on the side. So I'm not going to take any further action until I here from someone with some good adviec.

so i followed this line when i got the bike cleaned out and it kinda seems to me like it might go to the carborator. So tell me what you guys think.

I would double check the oil drain plug and then take it to the dealer. Do you have warranty left?

The line to your carborator should be attached to the bowl drain, it keeps gas from leaking onto your engine when the drain is open.
