Ok, so today before work.. I had my bike out in the sun, and for some reason.. started it to let it idle for a few before I left for work. I got on the phone with my fiance, and got carried away and let the bike sit there running for probably a good 20 minutes. It was in the low 70's out, and after the mentioned 20 minutes, I noticed the bike idling really high. I walked out and blipped the throttle, and it stayed high. I then smelled oil burning so I killed the motor.
There was blue smoke coming up from the engine area under the fairings, and the bike was hot as crap. I gave it a few minutes, and tried to start it again, and it pinged on startup and had a hard time running, so I killed it and left it alone.
I am on my way home right now to check it out.. hopefully it's ok.. but we'll see.
Any thoughts on the oil burning??? I just changed the oil 2 weeks ago to Castrol GPS 10w-40... should I change the oil again after this overheat?
