Help!!!

My 03 600RR is puffing some blue smoke! Is my engine screwed?!

Under 4000 miles on my bike and it is puffing blue smoke. It mainly happens when I rev up the engine. Ill rev it up while at a stop, and after it idles down it will puff some blue smoke, also after I slow down to a stop after some hard riding. I called a dealer and they said that being as it has such low miles that my rings are probably not shot and that I might have oil in the airbox, or my plugs need to be changed... Any one know what this could be? Is it possible that I might have slightly too much oil in the bike, and that could cause a problem? Please help!!!!

 

well blue smoke is oil so you are definetly burning it

to make sure your oil is right.
stand your bike straight up and down
the oil shouldnt go above the top line on the window

do you have an aftermarket filter? sometimes they come with too much oil on them and it drips into the throttle bodies.

other than that bad plugs wouldnt cause you to burn oil. but burnin oil will foul the plugs
only a compression check will determine if your rings are shot

 

Blue smoke on decel usually means valve guide seals.

Either there are defective parts or you don't let the engine warm up long enough before redlining it.

Keep an eye on your oil level and you should be fine. I wouldn't add anything else to the crank other than good ol' fashioned oil.

Any extended warranty?

 

yeah i think the oil would be burning. DId you add to much and runnign the right kind?

 

Well if you still have it under warranty the dealer will fix it.... otherwise, I would go down to AutoZone and pick up a bottle of Z-Max. That stuff works wonders!

 

i would be hesitant to put oil additives in a wet clutch system
it might cause clutch slippage

 

Thanks guys.

Talked to another dealer, and they said that on the decel the crank case pressure can cause oil to back up through the breather then go right back in through the engine. Suggested to check filter for oil.
