I filled my gas tank a couple weeks ago but haven't ridden since then. When I went to ride this morning I was out of gas. I checked the oil and it was full of gas. What could be my problem and how can I fix it??
I am going to assume that this is a model built before 2007 and has a carburetor. The only way gas could get into your oil that I can think of is through the carburetor. It seems you may have a slow leak from a bad carburetor float valve. It must be leaking from the carburetor to the piston area and then seeping by the piston rings to the crank case. The only way to correctly fix this (if that is the case) is to repair the leak by usually rebuilding the carburetor. In the interim, after you have changed your oil, make sure that you turn your gas off whenever you park the bike to prevent the gas flow and only turn it on when you are going to ride it and when you stop to park (no matter how short a time) turn it off.

The gas must be passing in through the inlet via the carburator/s which seems to be flooding.
Remove the carbs and check the float pins and adjust.
Please dont forget to replace the oil filter as it must be full of gas too!
Check the petcock too ...maybe the auto shut off isn't functioning!
Hope this helps!

When your oil heats it expands. Your bike holds 3 qts dry..when you change your oil only put 2.6 qts in. the full mark you are looking at is when the bike is hot not cold. a full 3 qts is to much.

First of all, your oil level has nothing to do with your bike stalling. Best way to check it is with engine cold. Shoot for halfway between full and add marks.Your levels are normal. The engine retains some oil after running. It takes awhile to drain back into the case.Please clarify your stalling problem. How fast were you going? Sitting still. Only upon startup after a drive?

Carbs are not synchronize. Running richon yhe back and lean on the front. If each carb has irs own filer, check the rear carb air filter.. But for sure get the carbs synchronized. Good Luck.

buy some 'start ya barstard' or aero start and spray directly in to the carby and start it just gives it a bit extra
