white smoke or blue smoke?

 

[hondatrx700xx]

white smoke

 

[jfdanie2]

White smoke usually means its burning oil.

 

[holy700xx]

White smoke is usually antifreeze, blue smoke is oil, black smoke means too much fuel.

 

[hondatrx700xx]

ok i have 2 differnt answer for white smoke but i wonder why it only smokes when i rev it

 

[hondatrx700xx]

could the cold weather be a factor

 

[jfdanie2]

Have you checked your oil and antifreeze levels if it is burning either of those that would help diagnose the problem a little better

 

[hondatrx700xx]

yes i have a level of above upper on the anti freeze and the oil shows up on lower but i really dont plan to ride it till i change it i have extra oil and i could take out some anitfreeze if thats the problem and i just changed the air filter could it be to much pj1 filter spray? thank for the help guys

 

[jfdanie2]

Its a good possibility, because everytime you pin the gas and rev the motor its sucking pretty hard on that filter, I hope that's all it is man. And if it is just take a paper towel and wrap it around the filter and it will wick out all the excess oil.

 

[hondatrx700xx]

i re cleaned the air filter and its drying now so do u have technique to how much you put on the filter?

 

[Red-N-BlackXX]

Sounds like too much filter oil to me. I don't think it'll hurt it though.

 

[jfdanie2]

What I do is get the filter dry and then put a light coating over the whole filter and let it sit for at least a couple hours. Then pinch the filter, one finger on the inside and one on the outside if both your index finger and thumb have oil on them then you're good IMO. But the inner part of the filter should have very little oil compared to the outer. Just oil in light coats and take your time its really easy to over oil.

 

[hondatrx700xx]

yea your probly right thanks man

 

[jfdanie2]

Glad to help

 

[hondatrx700xx]

i also have another question is it normal for your bike to really jerk forward when you put it in 1st gear

 

[mrtheandrew]

Yes, because there is still slight friction between the clutch even with it disengaged fully.

 

[hondatrx700xx]

so its cause of the cold weather and is it normal and will it hurt the bike
