Not at all.....on both counts.
We love the sound of your fingers typing away !!

As for the original problem(s), I really hope you paid close to nothing for the bike because with all the problems it has, that's about what it is worth.

My guess is that it needs a clutch job...couple of hundred $ and a head gasket....another couple of hundred. Neither job is one for a novice.

As long as you can manage, riding with a slipping clutch really won't make that repair more costly....BUT riding it with a leaking head gasket might trash the engine completely......if you let it get too bad.

Sorry...and yes, good luck!
