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.

Yeah, I know. Plus I always turn my petrol off (sis’s carport
)
That’s why I thought that it was the 2/ oil ‘falling’ through. I know tzr’s Have a ball bearing and spring to stop flow without the pump working against it. Don’t know about the Dtr though... -
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 -
@Stevie-Wonder yeah that goes for all 2 strokes the oil doesent burn efficiently at lower temps so you need to clear their throats when they do warm up

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... -
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!...
-
It’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
