i got water in my intake this weekend. oil is kinda milky looking. besides changing it is there anything esle i can or should do?

 

just keep changing your oil. change it then ride it to the end of your road and come and change it again. keep doing this until u get the color oil u put in. and then just make sure your airfilter is dry. hope this helps.

 

Hello,
I was just curios how you got water in the crankcase. If it came in through the intake then you also got it in your carb and cylinder along with some dirt. If that happened then the bike probably did not start until the carb was cleared. It is also a possibility that the water came in through the crankcase breather as was the case with my son's 250 EX. The bike was running fine throughout the ride but we later found milky oil in the crankcase.
Water had entered the airbox and the crank breather hose was located right where the water collected. We relocated it and have had no problems anymore. Just thought you might want to check that because it takes a lot of water to make your oil milky when entering throgh the intake.

to be honest i don't remeber how it happened. i went over my bars that and got a concusion. lost short term memory for 2 days. i had it serviced and they took care of everything.

 

Dude!
Sorry to hear that. I hope you were wearing your brain bucket! Did you black out? In the future if you or anyone you know has a head injury, make sure that you tell the Doc at the ER that you blacked out if you did. He will likely order a CT to see if you have fluid build-up in your brain or a possible blood clot. This must be determined within about 12 hrs or it will be too late to do anything for you. If he tells yu that it is not needed and you did black out, then you probably do not have insurance. DEMAND ONE ANYWAY.
Back to the bike... you might want to find that breather hose and vent it in the airbox if it is not already. If it is vented in the airbox, then make sure it is not entering on a low point as water will enter directly in the crankcase should you flood the airbox. It is an easy fix with some creativity and a trip to the hardware store should it need to be re-located.
That is of course if you plan to ride in any water again soon.

my entire seat went under. so i don't think anything would have stopped it.
