Over filled oil

[Guest]

Yes, I made the dumb mistake of overfilling my oil. The smokey exhaust was the tip off. Last night I drained the oil down to the proper level, started it up and got the same smokey exhaust, which I expected. How long before the smoke clears? Should a good ride burn everything off, or should I expect this to continue for a while?

Cheers!

Just guessing but one ride of say 10 miles should take care of it.

wrong it will take at least 16.0934 kms to burn off the oil

Don't burn it off, it'll stop the exhaust from rotting from the inside.

Exactly. What's this "mile" stuff anyway?

I think they're green, aren't they?

I put an exhaust from a blown motor on a known good motor and It smoked out the neighborhood.
I was confused at first......

Okay, so I finally had a chance to go for a ride after draining the oil. I got the usual smoke at startup that dissipated as the engine warmed up. Rode about 15 miles and there was no visible smoke when I got home. Today I started it up and it's smokey again. Should I expect to wait a bit longer for things to clear, or could there be another problem? Compression is fine so I don't think it's the rings, and there's only 21000km on the engine. I ran it for probably 150km or so before I realized the oil was too full.

Thoughts?

if it's not the pipes it is a valve stem seal.
Ride it for awhile before considering this.

Skinner, do you have an airbox on your bike? If so, pull the drain hose off & see what comes out.
