my tri-z is smoking to much. why?????????

[tri-z250r]

my tri-z is smoking to much and have 2 1/2 ounces of oil per gallon.why?

[KASEY]

maybe the crank seal on the clutch side is leaking and your pulling trans fluid into the crankcase

[J.D.]

Ok you're running a 51.2:1 ratio. What kind of oil are you using? Have you done a compression check? Do you wait until it warms up REAL good to let the smoke stop? Even when mine if fully warmed, it's puffs out a little smoke when I "floor" it.

when my Z sits for awhile the oil settles to the bottom. so when i start it up it smokes a lot as well till i bounce around and the gas gets mixed up some but that may just be mine :)

i use castor927.i not check the compression yes i wait that the engine is hot and the smoke is to much like the engine is cold.I think that is the trans fluid but not sure

[Ace Mon]

If younthink its trans fluid , pop the filler open and see if smoke comes out .

My Z smokes pretty good until it's good and warmed up and cleaned out. I'd say if it still smokes a lot after you ride it for a bit then it definatly could be burning tranny fluid.

thanks for the help.I disarmament the engine find a lot of oil in the crankcase.should be the crank seal or the silicone that unites the two parts of the engine.
