Did I blow it up?? What to do next?
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2015 8:45 am
Hello, I'll be brief. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
I have a 2005 Susuki Boulevard S50, its basically my first non learner, but have been riding for 5 years or so. I took it out today about 3 miles on the highway I exit and am sitting at a light, tons of smoke starts coming from the mid pipe area by kick stand. I pull off into a parking lot, turn it off, and here comes the fluid....I see it dripping oil and smoking. I let it sit, confirm it was oil and proceed to weep. I come back later to find that the oil window is dark but has more fluid than I started the day with, its still black. I assume that I had coolant in the engine mixed with oil???
The bike still started up fine and I drove it .5 miles down the road so it wouldn't get towed. It ran well, but still smoked a little when I stopped it. My question is, how fu**ed am I? What's my next step? Buy some leak sealant and put fluids in it before I drive it to the shop? I know it's not an expensive or super nice bike, but if it's salvageable I'd like to.
Thanks
Mark
