Hi all, I have an 06 with 36,000 kms I bought 3 months ago.
There was an oily sludge under the oil pan so after some research I replaced the 2 o’rings on the coolant vent tube. When reinstalling it I pushed the vent tube with new o’rings into bottom of motor then guided the oil pan up into it and tightened the bolts. A straight forward job and no issues along the way.
After letting the RTV cure overnight I put some fresh oil (same as previous) and when idling and blipping the throttle I’ve now go a smoky exhaust!! The is some residual oil on the exhaust under the engine which I’ll let burn off when I ride it but the smoke was exiting the silencer along with the exhaust gases.
Did I not align the vent tube properly? would that cause a smoky exhaust? I’m at a loss !!
And help would be appreciated as I can’t ride the bike until I get this issue resolved. Thanks for reading.
