huge problem here...im riding with a few friends a few days ago, and one of them falls behind about a mile haha. so two of us go back to see what happened and hes on the side of the road with a buncha black shit leaking out of the bottom of his bike. seeing as none of us r master mechanics, we dont know what it is. he rides a 2001 ttr 125 if that helps ne. there were no explosions of ne kind and nothing to our knowledge fell off the bike. ne help would be great
Oil
The "Black shit" is probably oil.
Its possible that a gasket is blown, allowing the oil to leak out, or maybe the engine cases have been holed by a rock.
Wipe away the oil, and you should be able to see where it's coming from. If the engine ran completely out of oil, things might be nasty in inside however.
I'd get a mechanic to look at it if you aren't experienced (as you say).
but ive heard that these bike
but ive heard that these bikes use the same lubricant in the engine and transmission, so couldnt it be from the transmission too?
Sorry
I was lumping the whole "Engine" together when I said "engine". Ie, including the trans.
oh alright i see thanks man

work on it or walk!
black shit?
guys if ya can't work on your bikes, get another hobby!
can't work on them then sell them to someone who can and will probably enjoy it more ;)
oil
depends on if it was a lot of oil. it might be a brether hose from the top of the engine leaking oil.
