    Hiya guys been running the area 51 for 2 months almost daily its been behaving its self
    now if its left for a few days it smokes more than i do quite bad smoke for 5 mins or so
    the question is can i reduce this smoke through bypassing the 2 stroke tank and putting the correct amount of oil direct into the tank? i get quite a few dodgy looks using it like this lol

    oh i use that castrol 2t cleanburn oil if thats any help

    T.I.A

    Your oil pump is leaking into the block then. Had the same on my Katana 50.

    It will be the same initially because it has to expel the excess oil in the block first.
    Run the bike for a few days before condemning them.
