    2018 450r with coolant in the engine oil

    My CRF450R is overheating spitting out coolant and there is coolant in my oil. Is it the head gasket?

    Welcome to the site !! \:D/

    That would be my guess , I would also be concerned about the radiator cap , if it is spitting out , that means it is most likely low on coolant , so the issue you have to find first is , what caused the coolant to spit ? , was it the gasket ? , or was it something else that caused it to lose coolant and that is what blew the gasket ? ..... Question , did you overheat ?? ... like was it fine , then one day you overheated it going slow or something and it has been like this since ?? , or do some tight trail riding with it ??? , curious :-k 8-[ , as any "new" bike issues concern me ... and how many hours do you have on it ??? ................. I have 62 hours on my 20 and have had no issues , I also switched to Engine Ice and a 2.0 CV4 radiator cap at about 10 hours , and only track ride it , I plan on doing a piston at 100 hours
