Hi guys,
Today i got my bike back from the workshop, and they changed the cam chain and adjusted the valves.
Before i sent the bike to them i changed the head gaskets ( 2 gaskets ) and today i got the bike back.
Put the carbs, air filter ....... back on and the bike started right away.
The idle was unstable, to high. but i took the bike out for a spin.
I noticed that when i had the clutch out and no throttle in 1 gear, the bike just continued to drive.
And the throttle response was late.
The biggest problem, was when the bike suddenly started to smoke, grey smoke and it smelled hot.
The termostat gauge went to the roof, and suddenly cooling fluid started running from the left side of the bike and down on the ground.
I also noticed the fan did not go on. It did before, ?!
Any ideas what i should do ?
2 month with no driving is really killing me ...
And i think it was a oil in the cooling fluid, if im not wrong.
Sadly i have no picture to show you guys, but i hope you guys maybe know what the problem is.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Disaster after valve adjustment.
Head gasket has gone, or there was a warped head from before that has leaked coolant.
