Title: Head gasket??
Post by: leviathanrising on 05 May 2014, 09:02:44 pm

God damn it every time I seem to have fixed and run the bike something else seems to go wrong.

Now when it gets warm it decides to blow white/blue smoke after about 3 minutes running on the idle with it blowing every sec or so. It smells like partially burnt petrol so I'm assuming it can't combust enough.

My suspicions I think are confirmed given that I have a small patch of water where it seems to have leaked from the exhaust in a hairline crack (it also seems to steam from here when running). Confirmed?

Blue smoke is burning oil, white smoke is burning water. Pull the spark plugs to investigate symptoms, hopefully it's nothing bad.
