white smoke

[ic3boi4]

hi all, may i know wad could be the problem if my bike is producing a lot of white smoke. fyi, the bike is a honda phantom ta200.

i think the valve seal has been cracked/worn out.

 

so, the engine oil slightly entered the combustion chamber and burnt along with the fuel thus producing white smoke from your exhaust.

 

if its not the seal, then check your piston rings condition.

 

replace the seal or rings will overcome the problem.

ok thanks. btw, will the engine oil i use affect the bike? because the engine oil i`m using is for cars.

will affect the clutch plates if the engine oil u use hav friction reduction additives in it.. cos some car engine oil do contain that..

yes.

 

bike's engine oil has been designed to the high RPM produced by the engine. car's RPM does not rev high as the bike.

 

plus, both type of vehicle has different type of gearbox location.

 

if i'm not mistake, the additive inside the oil also differ. wait for the expert to elaborate more.

no need for overhaul if it just the defected seals.

 

but, for piston rings prob, for sure overhaul laa..

when there is white smoke issit literally similar to those 2 stroke bikes or even a slightest sight of white smoke or smoke under the shine of light will be considered as there is white smoke coming out from the bike?
