Decided to change the oil. Went and got it all ready, set up my tools, warmed up the bike and
had it all under control and ready to go. Took off the filter, drained both plugs, lube the rubber
seal on the filter and and replaced the filter on the bike. Now you might think I forgot to
replace the plugs before refilling with oil, no I did that right.You might think I used too much
oil since this is a qwirky bike to fill, no got that right. I started the bike and now you might
think I left the oil stick off and got oil all over the bike, no got that right too. Well I ran the bike
for a few minuets checking to make sure the oil light goes off to measure the oil level. That
was fine, but ran into a problem when I pulled in the clutch and put it in gear, it died, would
not keep running. I checked the oil level several times, did I not put in enough? Whats the
deal, I'm starting to worry. The bike dies when I put it in gear. I went inside and checked to
manual to make sure I had the right amount of oil and ran it some more. I put it in gear again for
about the fourth time and the bike keeps dying. What am I doing wrong, is this oil not gonna
work? Did I break a clutch or something? I'm not a mechanic.
