I'm not a mechanic / technician , but if white smoke is coming out of the
exhaust on your gasoline engine when the engine is warmed up :
( it sounds like engine coolant is getting into one or more of the engine
cylinders )
* bad head gasket , warped head from overheating , anybody else ?
White smoke means head gasket, cracked head or equivelant.
if it is white smoke engine need to rebuilt.
rings are bad
no. when a head gasket is bad coolant goes to the exhaust pipe and causes the car to smoke alot all white smoke.
usually a cracked head but i dont think that bike is liquid cooled
blue smoke is oil. white smoke is water. black smoke is unburnt fuel
If it is only at the start of the day and disappears shortly after startup, it is just condensation in the exhaust that is burning off. Pretty normal, especially in cold or rainy weather.
a
the engine is burning oil. blue smoke oil white smoke antifreeze black smoke excess fuel
White smoke is steam. A little is normal on all engines. If there is a lot it could be an indication of coolant getting into the exhaust, possibly from a failed headgasket.
White smoke from the exhaust means two things; excessively rich fuel mixture, or coolant is being burned in the engine. Being that the smoke comes out after 15-20 minutes, the problem is probably an internal coolant leak, allowing coolant to be burned by the engine.
Yes, this is simply showing your car is working, however, what SHOULD'NT come out of your exhaust pipe is red flames. If that is what's coming out, I'd check with mechanic. In general, Blue smoke, engine oil. Black smoke, excess fuel. White smoke, engine coolant.
