hey i've never had any problems with my 400 ex. good bike. however, it wasn't starting, so i checked the dipstick, and i was low on oil. i was missing a washer, so that explains it. replaced the washer, changed the oil, and changed the oil filter.
before, when it had low oil, it would turn over, but not actually fire up. it would catch for a bit, and then just die.
now when i go to start it, all it does it make a slight whirring noise down by the tranny. this is freaking me out, cause i'm supposed to go riding this weekend and then thanksgiving at glamis, so i need my baby in running condition.
what is the problem here? thanks in advance for the help.
