YTM 125 smoke

[slippy4]

My ytm smokes like a train when i ride it, what would be causing it to smoke? rings bad and letting the crank oil up? i know two strokes smoke but this is alot and it smells! Lmk thanks

I would say most likely rings. Does it stop smoking after it warms up?

On a two stroke, its usually gas/oil mix, or tar buildup in the exhaust, which gas/oil mix can contribute. Also if a crank seal on the clutch side leaks, it will suck in oil from the crank.

[Dan Tenn]

are you mixing your oil, or using the auto lube. Just curious if your mixture is really fat.

[TimSr]

Oh yeah, I forgot those have an oil injector. In the older bikes, those were set at like 20:1, you youve probably got all kinds of sticky tar crap throughout your exhaust. Sounds like a good candidate for clean burning Blue Marble!

i wouldnt doubt that as this trike was sitting since march and only driven last winter, otherwise it sat for a long time and all the crap just stayed there. ill have to see how it is when im able to drive it (need a new tire so i dont know if it stops when it warms up, i just drove it for a min. or two) thanks
