I just bought an F2 1994 off ebay, the guy said it runs great...just had it in the shop everything is great. He said he drove the bike back and forth to work but just to sell because he didn't have time to ride it anymore. The Problem...... You can start the thing and it sounds like your at a corn grinding mill...PPL said that may be the CCT when you put it in gear and take off anything over 4rev'z it starts sputtering change gears...same thing all the way up. If you walk to the rear stick your finger in the pipe it comes out very...very...very wet and black... the oil looks brand new but smells like a hint of gas... and yes it smokes. None of these signs were there when i went and looked at the bike. it was sputtering a little but I thought mabey just clean the carbs.

If you truly have gas in your oil than be careful of hydrolock. Check to make sure your carb floats and needles are not sticking and allowing the gas to just keep flowing when you shut the bike off. This usually happens at the same time that your vacumn fuel petcock is damaged. Replace the petcock if it uses one. Do a thorough cleaning of the carbs. Maybe a carb rebuild. Look at the plugs to see if they are wet and what condition they are in. When you correct the fuel leaking past the carbs then change the oil.

URGENT: Do this now before let it sit for too long or you will get hydrolock and damge pistons and rods.

Thanks for your help, i got a couple of other questions to shoot at you or anyone reading this.... Do you know anywhere I can download the parts diagram or a book on this bike and also how the hell do you get the seat off this bike. I have found no leaver or release?
