white smoke from exhaust

[donckr77]

my exhaust gives out white smoke... anyone knws why and what should i do?

[ezzyoiler]

if it is excessive...like a smoker,..

indicates the seal between the piston ring/ cylinder is bad.

sometimes a change of piston ring will solve this problem..

if the wear and tear is excessive..then piston needs to be change..or worse incluiding the cylinder liner/ block..

 

get it fix as soon as possible before it gets worse..

[donckr77]

roughly how much wud it cost to change the piston ring/piston/cylinder block? is there a need for top / full overhaul ?

[ezzyoiler]

go and ask your mech....as you will be visiting him in the near future..

[ezzyoiler]

cost??

depend on your ride..from a block change etc etc...coulld be as low as $150..

or towards $800..for a block...i it can be done. some bikes more complicated than others..

so..get a quote rom your mech..then others will be able to commend on it...

as you have not indicated whether this is a cupchai or a fancy race bike...

Are you riding 2 stroke or 4 stroke? Is it air cooled or liquid cooled. You are not providing enough information so how can people help you? Its all guesswork.. that's why you can never get a good reply.

 

Normally white smoke on a liquid cooled engine means blown head gasket. I am guessing and assuming that you have a liquid cooled bike too.

what are u guys talking about..

 

2t bikes never gives out white smoke..

 

2t smoke got la..

 

when ur 4t bike gives out white smoke could be 1001 reasons as 2 y?

 

simply it got to do with the mechs in ur engine..

 

best advice is to overhaul ur engine..n thats that

 

ps.. thick white smoke has not got anything to do with ur block...

My friends x1 had this, turned out to be piston issue

Too much smoke is never good, go and check with mechanic.

Probably of the 2T you use also. Those cheap 2Ts very watery & not good for the bike. Better to use quality 2Ts from any petrol kiosk. Cost more but save your bike & you money in the long run:)

[ezzyoiler]

x1 is 4 stroke engine...2t ???unless u purposely add it to you petrol for whatever reason.

If 2 stroke bike, adjust the 2T oil rate.
