The crash was a week or two ago and you can read about it here: viewtopic.php?t=5513&highlight=wet
Cosmetically the bike has started to come back together, but there are a few problems still. There is some oil around the tranny/motor area (not far from the shifter, but definitely not coming from the lever as that is very clean). I'm wondering if it's a leak or it came out when the bike was on its side. Along with that issue the coolant is very low, probably an ounce or two at best in the bottom of the tank. There is no puddle of oil or coolant beneath the bike where is sits usually and no place that I can see that is came out.
Also what brand and type of oil should I use and what brand and type of coolant should I use? As you can see I'm not very familar with motorcycles. [/url]
