Hi Everyone, my problem is that when I first start my bike after it's been sitting for a few days, it smokes really, really badly. It smells like coolant a bit too, wondering if there is a head gasket issue with this model? the bike has about 150k miles on it. also it will run a little rough off idle too, though this could be a clogged pilot jet, I just bought the bike for $400 after it sat for about 3 years in a garage.
the coolant is a little low after I topped it off, and it seems to smoke worse on the the right side. if it is a head gasket how hard is it to change? I'm a very good wrench, I just don't want to put a lot of time and money in this bike if it's on it last leg, but it does run very good still and i really enjoy riding it.
let me know, should it stay...or should it go....
thanks everyone!
