What color?

generally speaking, White, oil burning. Dark, too rich.

 

[gsteve]

Ill ask.... im pretty sure its bluish... but ill make sure.

same thing happens on mine after I put a full yosh system and had it remapped....my smoke is darker = running a little rich, which I guess is better than running lean.

Black is rich however it does not mean too rch. Depeds on your setup. ie I run my Turbo o the ric side to help keep it from detonating on high end runs.

So some of the questios are what have you done to the bike, and like previously sad by Justintime2 WHAT COLOR SMOKE?

the bike is a bone stock [for now] 04 with 2000 miles. ill ask my buddy what color today. sj

not quite bone stock.. you drilled your mufflers out didn't you? check your oil level too, as described in the manual. if the level is too high, it's possible that you could get a little blowby.

Also run a finger around the inside of your pipe and smell the carbon on your finger.
It is easy to tell by smell alone if you mix is correct and you are getting complete combustion.

I get a slight puff of dark smoke if zipped to around 10K from idle (only for a quick second) was told it was completely normal and bet most people on this forum would say they have it too if they snap the throttle on the stand in neutral.

My 99 and 03 did it.

Oh ya.. I did lighten the cans a touch

Oil level is ok... ill have a look at the carbon buildup. Rixxo figured it was a whitish blu just for a sec as a snapped it open. Its prob nutin. Thanks guys. sj
