Hello All,
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom that you can spare. I just bought a 2008 BF 750 4x4i with 63 hours on it. I've been rarin' to take it out but I noticed something peculiar that's stopping me. I noticed some oil in my coolant resevoir. I thought that the guy I bought it from just screwed up and put oil in the wrong place but I'm erring on the side of caution and guessing that that isn't the case. I Googled this topic the best I could and found some limited information. The stuff that I did find unfortunately indicated that I might have a faulty head gasket, a failed water pump or something cracked or warped in the top end (jeez, I hope it's not that). In the couple of times that I've ridden it I noticed that the bike runs really strong and shows no signs of missing, knocking, clicking or smoking. I haven't taken it out again for fear of screwing something up. Might you guys have any idea of what I may be faced with and what I might be looking at spending to get it fixed?
Thanks again!
