f4i oil smoke after landing on its side
 

Bike is an 01 F4i, w/ clean air mod.

We went riding this afternoon. after a few hours of wheelies, my friend locks up the front wheel and the bike lands on the cage on the clutch side. It sat there for about 45 seconds.

Now when the bike cranks, it runs great, but is blowing out oil smoke, and puddles of oil come out of the exhaust, after it runs for a minute.

I can't help but think that it has something to do with oil getting into the section of the valve cover that the pair valves go to?

If this happens all the time, and I'm being a whiney bitch and it needs to sit over night, let me know. or is there something else i can do so I can just pick it up and ride it again without the go-go-gadget smokescreen.

you can make fun of my, call me a bitch, tell me to search better, doesn't matter as long as i get some hints as to how to fix this piece of shit.

thanks ! john

Looks like it just filled the exhaust with oil.

I've re-routed the hoses to the valves and to the breather on the valve cover. I guess maybe JB weld the things over the exhaust?

with the clean air mod done correctlly if u leave the bike running while its down on the left side oil will get routed right into your exhaust and smoke like a bitch. has happend to me a couple times. check your oil level now and make sure your not low, dont know what your talking about jb welding.

Re: f4i oil smoke after landing on its side
 

the clean air mod is supposed bypass the air box so any oil that gets pumped out of the crank case vent tube will go directly to your exhaust dont jb weld any thing ...

did you unplug the clean air valve ?

the crank case vent tube is the hose coming off the left side of your valve cover you want that connected to the port that used to go to the front or your air box , block the holes left in the air box and unplug the clean air valve or replace the clean air valve with a t fitting , either way is fine .

Yes, I knew that...but he didn't...
At the time when his shit was puffin smoke, he had no idea what was causing it.
Dont ya think its a good idea to shut it down and not ride it till your absolutely sure what is wrong.

Thats what I do,If the bike starts doin something wierd and I have no idea why,I wont ride it till I figure out the issue and decide if ridin it will jack it up more.
