ReconRat Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Don't even worry about a head gasket if it's still running anywhere near normal. Only a compression test would tell for sure if there was a head gasket problem. (or removing the head gasket) Lots of simple things can cause smoke out the tail pipe. It's just hard to figure out what it is sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I posted on another bike, that a clean air filter is rather important. At the high amounts of air flow at high revs, the bike can choke and draw oil instead. It probably doesn't happen as quickly when under load moving down the street. But revving up while sitting still, it happens quickly. I'm not sure about really high revving bikes, but I think that even a clean air filter might choke when just revving it up sitting still without a load on it. It just won't flow air fast enough, and will try to draw oil instead. Perhaps that is what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FocusDave01 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Change the oil and keep an eye on the level. That is the cheapest' date=' and smartest, thing you can do right now. I wouldn't take the bike back to the hacks you bought it from. If they didn't have enough sense to check the fluid level when they had it what makes you think they'll have it now? First lesson in motorcycle ownership... Learn to do it yourself. They aren't going to help you, right? Why give them any more business??[/quote']i completly agree, that bike will never go back to that dealership ever and im done with them, im gonna learn to do this myself and if it needs service that i cant do it will go to 35motorsports lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Don't feel bad, the first time I put rings and head gasket on a bike, I put both oil rings on upside down. That's some smoke. A steady putt putt little puffs of smoke from both pipes. I did it over again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
