Fired my B12 up, after sitting from Nov. till Jan, & all was fine while warming up in the garage. Started down the road, immediately started mis-fireing a little, quickly got a lot worse, looked in mirror & blue smoke had filled the air. Engine quit, pulled to side of road, & found oil & gas mixture pouring out the crankcase vent & the outlet of the exhaust was wet & dripping the mixture. Got a tow back to the house, appx. 1/4 mi., drained appx. 6 1/2 qts out of eng., found & fixed faulty petcock, will fix #4 carb soon. I got everything back together & fired up, everything sounds & seems good, Except the smoke. I'm hoping, it's only the smoke burning out of the exhaust, but I've had it running for a appx 5 min., 4 times & the smoke hasn't slowed at all. Kind of afraid to take it down the rd. again, smoke makes me nervous, & being towed home is even worse. Reckon how long to expect to get all the oil out & smoke be gone, or might I have other problems??? Thanks

Give it another 15 minutes, you'd be surprised how long it takes to burn out all the residual oil, I've had this happen before also. -

Quarter-mile tow? All uphill, right?
Last time I broke down, I pushed my 567lb 11e home several miles, and I'm almost 60!
Good luck with the smoke. As Mr Mackey says, "Smoking is bad."

Yes up hill all the way, & I'm past 60. Will take it for a pretty good run, just hope I don't have to tow it again. Thanks1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

Just ride around in circles for about 15 miles or so, and stay close to home, just in case, but it should clear up.Comment

It can take time. I replaced a blown head gasket on a 350 Chevy one time. Must have driven 20 miles before the coolant finally burned out of the exhaust, all the while thinking "please stop smoking, please stop smoking".Comment

Probably have oil in every crack and crevice under and around the engine, plus the pipes, frame and anything else oil spray could attach itself to. It could be a 50 miles before all of it burns off.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.

Same issue on an XVS65 at work a couple weeks ago. After oil & filter change, air filter replacement, and carb clean it ran roughly 30 minutes in front of the fan before a 16 mile Italian tune up sorted the remainder of the smoke. A victim of some Yamaha dealer in North Georgia (most goofed up carburetors I've ever ran into, and it wasn't even a customer mistake).Comment
