SUzuki Bandit 600 Smoking at high revs?

Hi,





I have a 2000 model bandit 600 that is smoking when i ride it up the road quite a bit!





Firstly last winter i left the fuel tap to the 'prime' position which flooded the carbs and air filter eventually circulating through the gearbox after i had figured this out i cleaned it all and replaced the oil/filter and air filter as well as removed the carbs and cleaned them.





It now runs better but when i took it down the road for a test run it smoked out the road behind me and also the clutch was slipping at high revs.





The bike doesn't smoke on start up so i am wondering where this smoke is coming from and if it is likely to dissappear if i ride it further - when i noticed it smoking after about 500 yds i turned around and went home.





Cheers|||There are allot of places for gas fumes to accumulate in a dual over head cam design. I suspect you have still got gas in your oil.





You could simply ride it, the gas will eventually be absorbed by the oil and / or tossed out the PVC into the filter and be burned.





But this is not ideal.





Ideally, you will strip the motor, blueprint it, and put it back together again.





But at least you'll change the oil and treat it with an additive resistant to gas wash out, after a short warm up ride (treat it twice once now once after), so-as not to wash the oil out of your valve guides and ruin your top end. Then you will repeat this, and again, as long as it smokes.





~ Or ~ you will wring the filter out better and carefully reassemble if you have a foam air filter and you over lubed it and the engine is thus sucking in oil at high RPMs because it's drawing more air and this is causing the smoke.|||check the engine oil and the transmission oil after riding and see if it smells like gas still. Change it if there is even a whiff of gas. so far what I think as far as the smoke is that the gas washed down everything and your rings have not seated in yet with the fresh oil. Driving the bike will help seat the rings. I dont know what is up with the clutch, Skip the high revs for now and just take a liesurely cruise and see how the bike runs after breaking in the oil. Im hoping you are using recommended oil for your motorcycle and not a synthetic brand (unless recommended.|||What color is the smoke? Blue? Black? Does it linger?
