#1004556 Jetset (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Smoke on overrun cured. 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   When I picked my bike up a few years back, the seller said there was oil smoke when you blipped the throttle after slowing down.....'needs new piston rings' said he! I thought 'no, that'll be smoke on acceleration, just on overrun is valve stem seals, fairly easy fix'. Lived with it for a while then recently thought I should look into it.....seals are not easy to get and, at £10 each plus gaskets makes for over £100 of bits! I read online about the upper crankcase breather causing carb problems so took off air cleaner and re-routed underneath (with a loop in the tube so any oil gathered can be sucked back in to crank). The result............BIKE FIXED, no smoke! So impressed was I that I fitted the less restrictive mufflers in the V&H pipes and now, even better, it pulls smoother.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004559 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:Smoke on overrun cured. 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Well, There you go!!!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4607 Re:Smoke on overrun cured. 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   When someone suggests a Roadstar has wear to the point of burning oil I usually doubt them unless they never changed their oil, or the first digit on their odometer is way over on the left side of the display. Glad you found the simple fix!   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/03/16 14:24 By BubbaKahuna.   This fits in here, right? I mean, I can make this fit in here ... right?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004567 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

No more or the engine will just push it out.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/03/16 14:28 By Shores.   The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004568 ultrastar (Moderator) We Call Her Big Red (Secretariat) 110 Big Bore Moderator Posts: 9536 Re:Smoke on overrun cured. 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Good to hear it was cheep and easy fix   Logged     My Rides   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004682 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!
