Smoke ! |

|
Im getting a bit of blue oil smoke on tickover guys and that |
|
soon clears given a rev. All is in very fair order internally, |
|
with new valve guides and rings etc so its a bit of a mystery so |
|
far. I seem to remember a posting somewhere in regard to the oil |
|
level, in that (I think), the best level is attained by dipping |
|
the sump without the dipstick screwed right in. Does this ring a |
|
bell with anyone please ? |

Correct oil level is with the dipstick pushed in, and resting on |
|
the top thread (i.e. not screwed in). What's not so clear is how |
|
the bike should sit when taking the reading. Putting on the |
|
centre stand is simple, but then the back's up in the air. |
|
Probably the correct way is sitting on the bike, upright. I |
|
would have suspected the guides, but if you've just done |
|
them.... |
|
You say you just fitted new rings. Did you hone the bore first? |
|
If it's glazed, the rings won't have bedded in and you may get |
|
some blow by? |

Ive found the problem Jake. The rings are new yes, but Ive |
|
removed the cylinder again to check them in the bore. Turns out |
|
they must have been chosen from the wrong tray (think I got them |
|
from TLM but cant be sure now) and theyre too small. Ive had a |
|
look at the SMS. MOTO site and theyve a full range so I will get |
|
them from there. Teach me to check them next time wont it ! |

By 'too small' I mean theres a gap in every ring when installed |
|
in the bore and so I will be losing pressure ion both |
|
directions. Buying new spares can be as problematic as second |
|
hand stuff sometimes ! |
