636 smoking

I just noticed today when I went to the spot with some guys that my bike on decel and when shifting bluish/white smoke comes from the exhaust... I have no clue what it is or could be from.

Smoke is smoke coming from the exhaust.

White smoke is generally from water. Unless its pretty cold right now in Denver, the water could possibly be coming from coolant being burned.

Blue smoke is generally from oil entering the engine and being burned off with the rest of the fuel mixture. could be piston rings or valves.

You didn't mention anything about having it parked at 12, or air box mod, so i assuming this is occurring during normal riding scenarios. Each problem has their own components that you need to look at.

Recommend figuring out what color the smoke most likely resembles. After that, do a compression test.


Hope that helps some.
