3 & 4 smoky

(1/2) > >>

Malc (Malvis):
Hi guys,

My CB500 isn’t on the road yet, so I’ve been starting her up about once a week. Just recently checked & adjusted valve clearances, points & timing etc. As per manual. Last week I let her run for about 5 mins then noticed exhausts 3 & 4 were clear to start with then started to smoke a bit, didn’t seem to be oily smoke, more white in colour so thought it”s probably condensation. Done exactly the same this week. 1 & 2 have nothing but 3 & 4 started to smoke a bit again after a few minutes running. Is this anything to worry about guys, maybe just needs a good run when I get on the road. Any suggestions. Cheers.

First, what was the outside temperature?

philward:
And was water (condensation) coming out of 3 & 4?

Malc (Malvis):
It was about 6 degrees and yes some drips from all 4 from the drain holes. No sing of water from the ends

It might be a different story when you ride the bike normally.
