Super Smoke!...

@declan But the engines are manifold injected oil, not carb. So why would the carb have oil in it?
I only run V-Power and it's still an issue. I'd suspect dirty/sticky float and emptying the float by raking it up the road seems to sort it out a treat.

It’s definitely been gravity feeding the oil in. I left the pipe off with a noticeable air gap at the top (5mm). It’s right the way up to the top of the pipe now...
I can’t believe that I’m the only person that this has happened to. It might be shite watery 2/ oil though. It was in there when I got the bike...
Any suggestions on what and where to buy in bulk? A gallon, maybe?... -

I don’t know about anyone else but I always notice my bike smoke loads on start up, it’s not until she’s given a good Rev or ridden through powerband the first time that she coughs up a load of smoke then eases off and goes to normal
I’ve been told oil injected bikes are a known for being like that -

I mean I took the pipe off that goes onto the inlet manifold, after the pump. The air was just from pulling it off. I Left it off overnight. It was higher than where it pushes on, not hanging down...
WoW!...
I emptied out the 2/ bottle and rebled the pump in last night with good oil. I put the small diameter clear pipe on that runs from pump to inlet, but I left it empty.
Since last night it has risen 4inches just gravity feeding through the pipe!! I’m seriously thinking of getting a one way valve if possible. Anyone know of any purpose made bits? Before I search... -

Before I search...Just found out an old pump and removed the oil out union, it’s a simple press fit. It DOES have a ball bearing and spring jobbie in it, the end of the spring had gathered a ‘plug’ of micro-lint, which was stopping the valve working properly. I’m guessing that the one that’s on the bike will be the same. I’ll soon see when I take off the pump for the umpteenth time!...

@chris
Sorry bud, I’ve already cleaned it up and put it back on the bike. It’s better now though, hasn’t rose at all...
I don’t know how to post pics with my iPhone either... -
@SpookDog
why was that oil in your exhaust, is it from your oiltank reservoir that was gravity feeding?
that valve youve mentioned, how does it work, i mean how it is supposed to open or closeIt’s built into the silver union that delivers 2/ through the small diameter pipe to the inlet manifold.
It’s a small spring and ball bearing...
And yes, it was gravity feeding. The rest is in the thread...
Just one of the obscure & amazing things that weigh down on my attempts to create something meaningful in my life
