My bike has been smoking out the exhaust and burning large amounts of oil.
It started from one day to the next.
The third cylinder plug fauled and it did a couple of times. Instead of replacing the spark plug I just cleaned it off and it hasnt fauled since. Note. when the 3rd cylinder spark plug fauled there was no more smoke coming from the exhaust. The 3rd cylinder wasn't functioning.
It smokes wether the bike os cold or warm i believe and more on hard acceleration.
Here are the questions...
Does the 1999 motor has valve guide seals (the guy at the motorcycle shop said the guides are pressed) or not?
Will it be easy for him to tell if the valve guides are not aligned or need replacing?
b/c it seems to have the problem in the 3rd cylinder should i replace the valve guides or seals (idk yet if it has seals or not) also as a precaussion?
Thanks
