i put my bike back on the bar for alittle to long the carbs started to bog so it was smoke break time n i parked it then 10 minutes later i try'd starting it, turned over for a sec n CLUNK, i was like wtf? so i rolled it back words in gear a few feet n she fired n smoked for 15 minutes, is it just me but is it irresistible to not bounce the rev limiter when ur bike smokes?

 

yeah i always put mine into second and rolll it backwards a couple times to release all the oil....always works....first time i didnt do it...my motor ended up like this one....garbage...

 

If you roll your bike and your in a lot with no tools how do you pull the spark plugs and try to start it , I just want to know just in case?

 

****.. so rolling it backwards will drain the oil?

 

would also like to know what if your on a lot practicing, have no tools will going backwards help relieve some of the oil pressure just enough to make it home depending how far you are?

 

That is exactly what happened. I have seen that happen on f4is. Spencer75South did that to his a while back. Same exact cylinder blew. He hydrolocked it, push started it which bent a rod and then 30 minutes later he had a nice hole in the block.

 

my clutch always slips after leaving it parked for awhile

 

My F4i hydrolocked on me the day I got it.I hit the lot,fell and it locked itself up.I was lucky enough to understand what happened.I pulled the plugs out and tryed to bump the starter over a couple of times,then it finally let loose and sprayed oil 20 feet in the air.All good now though.
