On changing the oil on my 98 there was 6 litres plus in the sump, level was obviously well over the marks on the sightglass, what csme out was a greeny/brown colour and had a whiff of petrol about it. Ive done about 300 miles now since the oil change and I notice the level is slowly creeping up again, the bike has also been flooding up, with idle, overrun and hot start problems and today, for the first time the fan cut in while riding normally on an A road, no traffic. And stayed on til I shut the engine down about 10 minutes later at this point the it must have overcome the pressure cap as it dumped about 25ml of water out of the overflow.
Anyone have any ideas? I know I need to get the carbs off and cleaned and balanced but is my engine going to be a write off? I'm thinking head gasket or worse atm
