Smoking R100gs?
Hello. Someone help me out here. Last week i gave my '89R100GS/PD a complete fluid change, motor, filter and transmition. I used Golden Spectro 4 synth. blend 20w50 in the motor(78000miles, runs strong!)Also, as per the Haynes manual i re-torqued the heads and adjusted the valve lash to spec.Motor was cold to the touch. I did notice one exhaust valve had no lash to begin with?!? This valve now makes a lot of noise. The bike now runs 100% better, idles correctly and smoother excelleration, but when i start it in the morning, it smokes like a chimney! Grey-blue with an oily smell. It also seems to fire on 1 cylinder for the first couple of revs until the second cyl. catches up. This smoking only lasts until the bike is warm, which leads me to believe oil is leaking into 1 cyl. overnight. Is this possible on a flat twin airhead? The bike is on the centrestand overnight, so oil can't spill into the cyl.(i'm only assuming this might happen??) Like i said, the bike runs much better, but at the cost of burning oil? This really conserns me, and it never did this when i bought it. Any air-head advice out there?
