in CT it is very cold so one day i went out to start my 250r and the kick start would not kick down. and the shifter would not move, even if i jumped on it it still would not move, it was like frozen. so i turned a heater on and i gess it unfroze. and when i looked at the gear oil it was like fome. can my head gaskit be blown and im leeking colent or is it just my gear oil is not soposto get that cold i dont know how i could get water in it. so i have no clue what is wrong

is coolant coming out of the head gasket?

what could be happening is you coolant is leaking into your oil and freezing and the gears can move ie not being able to shift so you need to heat up your engine if that is the case and try to drain all that oil/ coolant out...........
also check your coolant level also sometimes when its gets cold out the raditor over flow leaks a little cause it expands when cold i know mine did a little............no biggie i dont think...........:) hope this post helped!
