Title: Puff of smoke
Post by: Silver duck on August 21, 2013, 04:31:56 AM
Question:
On cold start up I get a puff of grey smoke. Bike was just dynoed and mapped. Could it be rich fuel. Hope it's not valve seals.
Bike is 07 s4r
22000 miles
Thanks in advance

Rich would be black.

If it goes away right off and you don't have excessive oil consumption I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes it goes right away and doesn't use oil

I thought this was going to be a thread about an electrical issue. You don't want the smoke to escape.  :P
