te449 blowing smoke out exhaust

[14te449]

I noticed after a oil change my bike blows smoke out the exhaust when reved. The only time it Dosnt smoke is when the oil level is at the bottom of the sight glass. From what I can remember it's done this since new. Should I be concerned?

There's lots of threads about overfilling. What happens is that the breather goes into the airbox lower and the filter.
It's happened to me alot if you take off the airbox there will probably be oil in the bottom and also oil spots on the filter.
The filter actually touches the rubber fuel injection intake trumpet and oil can soak into the filter there making it very easy to be sucked in.

Having said all that my bike has now done 10,000 miles and does smoke initially on start up. It still feels strong but probasbly needs a rebuild.

Do the TYR oil breather conversion.

I have the original breather blocked off. I have a zip ty breather? I heard other people are able to run more than 1500cc of oil with this breather. I run 1500cc of oil and it smokes.

I think 1500 may be too much. I top off with 1250cc.

 

[La Flama Blanca]

And I have the full Zip-Ty recirculator kit

1300cc is the max. I run the ZTR kit as well. The original oil level for the engine was 1150cc and then 900 was the fill once the BMW design became the Husky version.

 

[14te449]

Sorry I run 1250cc what the manual recommends

 

[14te449]

1150cc

Got it found that when the bike is on its side stand or leaned to the side it wil smoke if its vertical no smoke at all. I'm assuming this is normal

 

[Huskynoobee]

Not really

 

[La Flama Blanca]

Yeah, I don't believe this is normal. Maybe you have a bad gasket somewhere?

 

[14te449]

Bike only has a couple hundred miles on it. Valves out of spec?

 

[Huskynoobee]

Ahhh, that's a different story! It takes at least 500 miles for it to break in properly. They do puff a little smoke here and there until then. You'll also notice it will gradually feel more peppy the closer you get to that mark. What oil are you running?

 

[La Flama Blanca]

my first 500 miles were rough. But as Huskynoobee says, it did settle in and start running right! My issue was flameouts. Then all the sudden, they just stopped.

 

[14te449]

As in 980 miles on the odo. The thing is I brought it in under warranty with 150 miles for the same reason. The guy laughed and told me they tend to burn a little oil until broken in. Now I'm at 980 and no warranty still doing the same thing. I run motorex 5w40

Maybe is broken a valve seal. Take a video of the process, please, and go to a dealer. It's no good and no breaking-in.

 

[Huskynoobee]

So much conflicting info. ..

 

[14te449]

So let me clarify. Bike has about 980 miles. Blows smoke on start up and reving with the proper amount of oil in the case. I also assume it's burning oil as I have had to top off oil every 100 miles or so. I will check the spark plug to verify when I get a chance . So where should I start valve check? Compression test. Sorry for the confusion
