Changed transmission oil last week, it's now empty.. no leaks :S

As title, plus the bike won't start.

Bike: 2006 DT125R SM

Well went to take it out this morning.. started and let it run while i ate my breakfast.. went out, stalled it.. then it wouldn't start again. Just keeps turning over, I turned the throttle a little.. nothing.

I only noticed the transmission oil as I was checking all the vitals on the bike.

Here's a photo incase I am wrong. But to my view there is no sign of oil in the window.



I changed out the transmission oil last week, it was a grey colour... didn't look healthy. Plus I thought transmission oil didn't change colour like engine oil etc ??

I added the amount it tells you in the Honda book, 0.7 Litres I think it said.. Can't remember.

Might I add I know little to nothing about bikes. I read a few other threads and maybe the bike is flooding / spark plug and/or carb needs changed..

I might just take it to a mechanic, I don't know yet.

If it starts looking anything like this then it's leaking water into the crankcase, only thing I can think that would change it's colour. Mine must of had water in it a long time though as it's started rusting bits.

My guess, changing the oil has absolutely nothing to do with your engine not starting, sometimes the oil doesn't show in the spy glass until its sat for a few hours.

I reckon you've just fouled a spark plug, change your plug and get back to us if it still wont start.
