OK, So I am going to sell the 450, and of course it decides to start acting funny. I had to repair the headlight, got that sorted, fired it up and it started sounding a bit funny, so I checked the oil to make sure it wasn't low. Well, it was the right level but was weird color, like caramel sauce, not clear, but milky brown? What would cause this on an air cooled bike? I would say head gasket on a water cooled bike? I changed out the oil, and tried to start it again and it won't even fire now? I pulled the valve cover to check valves and cam and it looks ok except for the funny oil color. I am going to set valves and replace plugs as they are really old and worn. Any Ideas on what would make the oil like that?
Thanks
