That is coming from your crankcase stop running the bike!

Check carb float.
Check petcock it should only let fuel flow under vacuum.
If either of those let fuel flow it can get into bottom of engine.

Not aware of anyone getting coolant into engine. Seals prevent that even on coolant pump failure. Most likely it's gasoline.

After you fix it you'll need to change oil. Run engine few minutes. Change oil again.
Might need a third change to be safe. You want to flush anything not oil out of engine.

Hi, I have a 1300r 2005 5k

Gas/coolant pouring via air filter. Trying to post a video here. Any thoughts?

I'm thinking carburetor cleaning, replace oil.

Here is the video. another link in youtube.

Thanks for the input.
Did you get it fixed?? I had the same problem.. I think my problem was either to much oil.. Or the float was stuck in the carburetor.. I changed the oil and watched a youtube video and cleaned the carb myself. Saved me a couple hundred bucks!! I fixed the problem.. But now i have to barely have the choke on for it to run right???? I don't know why?? Any suggestions??

A lot of people, asking for help on this site, stop replying after a while. So we don’t find out if a problem has been solved.
We should try to find out if this is because of A: the problem has been solved and we are not needed anymore or B: some have the feeling that our ideas are not helping them and so they quit.
