knoll895 Started a new thread Honda gas in the oil
11/28/2018 11:36am Honda crf250r and 450r 09 and newer fuel injected bikes have always had an issue with gas making its way to the crankcase and filling the crankcase with gas. With this problem, it will dilute the oil and cause your crank bearings, cylinder wall, cam, lifters, and seals to fail prematurely, costing you lots of money and down time from...

7/25/2017 3:30pm I do know that the gas isn't getting in the oil while it's running, like some people think. The gas can only get to the oil when the bike is off. I haven't seen the kill switch like posted above, sounds cool but not user friendly for anybody to install.

7/25/2017 4:11am You could but is it accessible and I think it would spit gas out. Just seems messy and a little inconvenient.

7/24/2017 7:18pm The valve would kind of be like holding your thumb over a straw. While testing the valve I tried turning the bike off by turning the gas off and while it would turn off instantly I could still smell gas in the oil so I tried the kill switch then turning the gas off every time I shut it off...

7/24/2017 3:19pm Roger, no worries man just dishing it back. I know the injector does not function like an old 12 valve cummins. I completely understand that it may take some debris to make the injector stick but like on my bike or the other bikes I have put the valve on we didn't notice any difference in power if the injector...

7/24/2017 6:20am i am just bringing up a common problem and I have seen there is no fix for it. And as far leaving the bike sit without oil in it that is fine I'm glad that works for but i wasn't going to do that.

7/23/2017 8:35pm It is really nothing space age but it is simple, very reasonable, and it works. I personally called Honda about it and all they could tell me is change your oil more but at $8 a quart and literally changing it before every ride. That got old really quick. My brain storm of the on off valve worked.

7/23/2017 7:49pm My kit is a valve and some clamps. I did this when the problem first started in 2009 on my cousins crf 450 and hasn't had a problem since. I bought a 2013 crf 450 thinking that the problem had probably been taken care of by Honda but after I put 4hr on it, I checked the oil and sure...
