Ametrials Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hey guys! So i had to fix the cylinder for my bike, and decided to change the gear oil at she same time. After about a week the cylinder was fixed so I put it on and started the bike. I completely forgot about the oil and ran the bike for about 5 seconds or less without an oil in the engine. Then ofcourse i filled up the engine with oil, started again and it works fine. So my question is Is it possible that something in the engine is damaged? Because bike was running for like 5 seconds with no oil and it forks fine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I wouldnt worry about it. A 4 stroke yes, but a 2 stroke with no gearbox oil, not so bad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 You'd be surprised at how many bikes are neglected to the extent that they exist with little oil most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascao Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Saw someone ridding 100km in an enduro without oil... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonboy883 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) If it's a stroker and you havent put a flushing agent through, then virtually everything would have had a fine film of the old oil that would have been enough to just prevent damage for your 5 seconds of running it. Dont sweat it is best advice, it should be fine..... Edited May 10, 2019 by jonboy883 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I've seen 2t's go without oil for hours, then go for another 200 and counting afterwards. I wouldn't worry about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
