I just bought a race bike that has been sitting for a few months, the bike in in exc cond.The battery was dead so I get it started for about 4 min and shut it off. So next day notice alittle oil emulsion in the sight glass oil looked kinda light colored so then I check the radiator while charging up the battery today and it was dry...so I started adding water and it never seemed to be filling. I then removed the plug from the sump and water poured out of it. So I either have a bad head gasket or bad liner???? When it started up for those few minutes, no white smoke or anything, the engine sounded really tight?
i`m gonna refill the sump with oil and drain it. any suggestions on what to do next????
