Honda CRF 450 R - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
I just bought a 03 honda 450 and oil comes out of a tube under the motor when started...why is this?Also how do you check engine oil and transmission oil?
Is this a CRF450 single-cylinder off-road bike? If so: If it's coming out an overflow, it may be overfull. Not sure on that--haven't seen it before.To check engine/trans, drain, refill with (670cc w/o filter change; 690cc with filter change), start engine, shut off engine, check sight glass on side of engine. If it's low, add oil and repeat start/shutoff/sight glass routine until it's full. Engine and trans share oil.If it's still pumping oil out the overflow after you're sure it has the correct amount in it, be sure it's oil and not coolant, battery acid, or gasoline (there is a gas overflow tube on the carb for when the float sticks).
