1983 GS550LD-gas in oil
The petcock on my 1983 GS550LD leaked gas into the breather box and now the gas is in the oil. Is it going to do any damage sitting in there a day or so, or do I need to drain it immediately? Also, I have not gotten the manual for this bike yet, does anyone have a schematic so I can see where the drain plug is?

Drain plug's just like a car's, bottom of the engine. Careful you don't strip the threads re-tightening it.
If the bike's just going to sit, you can wait a couple of days. DO NOT ride the bike with gas in the oil. I think it would be better to leave the oil in the bike to prevent any flash rusting, but it does need to be changed soon.

Not sure exact amount but I always buy four quarts. And don't forget to change the filter.Ed
To measure is to know.
