so I was going to change the oil in my blast. (first time doing it) and unscrewed the primary bolt all the way instead of the 5/8's bolt next to it. some white oil came out and now won't go when you let the clutch out... what do I need to do to fix it?

Make sure primary is empty, then pour 1 QT through the primary breather hose very very slowly. Done.

Maybe oil frothed up with water? Expect a little of that when you change the oil, but not much.

Any V-Twin oil will be about the same if you change it on time. As for me I use whatever V-twin synthetic is on sale. The white stuff is normal and to be expected. It ultimately originates from the oil. You get the white stuff and that's part of the reason for changing the oil.
