Why you come here and ask about your real dirtbike's problems????!!! You should at least go to the Thumper Talk and explain your problem there and you will get many proper answers! It's a very popular community, give it a try!

i actually changed out the oil of my 2003 85 suzuki today after having it not be started since last year (like you, this was the first time with the bike as of this season), and when draining the old oil it looked very thin, almost to the point of being watery, as if coolant was in it. i dont really know how this is possible, but thats what it looked like. It looked very greyish clear sort of like you described. And very thin, not the type of viscosity regular oil should have. Perhaps if i just fired up the engine with that oil i would have the same issue as you. Also, maybe all thats needed to fix the issue is a new oil change?

try looking at the crank, make sure it isnt loose, if so replace right away, because if the rod gets loose the piston tops out and your crank will break, and then it will cause more damage to the case, that happened to my friends 2 smoker, pretty much same oil as you too. Its recomended if you dont ride it untill you check that, if the crank is fine your motor should be fine, also hows you jetting? You notice the bike running any richer than normal?
