Hi,

How does the smoke smell ?
burning oil or burning plastic ?

ok so i sat down there and watched my bike warm up and it appears that the smoke is not coming from the rotor like i thought but from a small hole right next to it on the left hand side which im guess leads inside the case. it does smell like oil now that i am inhaling it (great for me) it is also white smoke. it ran perfect idle until it started to warm up then the smoke started to gradually increased from the hole. it began to slow the idle till it stopped. any ideas what this could be?

ok . so i cleaned my sparkplugs yesterday super clean. and they are black now. that means its running too rich right? also my oil level is above the second notch by a bit? could that explain the white smoke from the right side from too much oil? it sounds and idles great for the most park but will eventually die after 5 mins or so.

well i feel stupid that tiny hole is just an opening ontop my case like an oil retention . the smoke is coming from my rotor for sure. my left side muffler is heating up increadibly fast and my right is cold? what could this be? is my engine overheating or something? the smoke continues to jut from the right side while idling.

Sounds like it is running on one cylinder to me.

regards,

Thats whAt I thought but it sounds fine and I feel exhaust from both mufflers. Could that cause the smoke problem?
