So ive finally got idle on lock. But after riding in the lot the other day i was having some issues. I'd ride for like 7-8min around the lot on idle never putting it down. Then when i'd come down and stop for a bit and restart the bike i'd get a nice cloud of white smoke and smell of burning oil out the exhaust. It would only smoke for a second or so as it started then it would be ok. It doesn't smoke while i'm riding on idle. I rode around the lot on two wheels for awhile and then shut it off, let it sit, and started it again. No smoke. Then i rode some more on idle, after i stopped and let it sit i started it again and had smoke again just at the startup. I think i'm like 1/2qt overfilled. My oil light never comes on while i'm riding. Is this ok ya think? I'm assuming somehow oil is just getting into the airbox, do i need to change a breather tube or something? I'm just hoping this is nothing bad, i really don't have time/money to fix bad seals or anything.

 

i would guess when your ridin on idel it is loading up alittle. i.e alittle to much fuel in the cylenders and then you shut it off restart and it burns the extra fuel off creating smoke. thats just a guess ussually when you get smoke on startup its the valves? but if it only dose it when you were ideling before shut off i would try revving it up a few times then shut her down i would bet hat if you do this it will not smoke when you restart let me know what happens

 

rev it to 10k and hit the kill switch right when u hit 10krpm n see if it smokes then.

 

gas=black smoke
oil= white smoke

am i right?

 

you might be dumping oil into the airbox a little. when your in a wheelie it could be putting oil in the back of the airbox and then when you set it down it drains into the cylinders. dont know for sure though

 

this is what i was thinking.

its not fuel. this is white smoke. as i said thats oil. If you don't know what your talking about might as well not waste the time posting.

 

its the exact oposite it seems wierd but it is.

 

my bad i read it corectly after my last post sorry yes you are right.most people think its the other way around it isnt

 

i know quite alot about bikes i missread the post as far as the white smoke i didnt notice that. if it is white its posable what you said is right a little oil in the air box could definetly do that? i dont post to be a jack *** bud i am trying to help some one out

 

^^^^^^^
silverdale is the ****. i like riding the backroads of seabeck.

 

exactly

blue-oil
black/sometimes gray-fuel
gray/white-water from condensation in exhaust/condensation in fuel system/coolant being burned in combustion chamber.
hondas are awesome about not putting oil in the airbox, you can always take the airfilter off and see if oils getting in there.

 

I've hydrolocked it before from a weak crash so i dunno if i agree about not getting oil into the airbox easily.

I'm thinkin its gotta be related to running so close to 12 for so long. It doesn't smoke any other time so i'm thinkin its prolly not a big deal.

 

sure

yep there are alot of good roads out here. ie seabeck and tahuya have some awsome twisties for sure. I didnt think to many people knew about them do you know some one that lives around here?

 

i used to live down there, and now i'm up in everett.
i'm stationed on the lincoln.
i used to mob out to seabeck all the time and totally kill it.
those are some of the nicest backroads i've ever seen.
how long have you lived there? ever met jim? dude on a flat black 900rr
that totally didint give a f*ck. he would murder wheaton way and silverdale way. and one time he highchair stoppied right in front of the police station,
i was on the 3 just cruisin along one time and he blew by me at like 120 mph doin a standup,
ahh the good old days, but i'm looking forward to the summertime, i should be movin back down there again

 

Have you looked in the air box jon?? So do you think that if you rode idle long enough it would eventually hydrolock??? You gotta see this rear set im makin im's makin it outta 1/2" steel

 

hopefully i'll get it done and come up like wendsday or thurs day with chad
