I have looked all over trying to make sure I didnt ask a question identical to someone else. I found a few guys that had similar problems but they were all from older bikes and seemed like their problem was...well, a problem. Im hoping mine isnt a problem.
Bike: 2011 gsxr 600 with 5800 miles.
Performance Mods: Yoshimura r77 full exhaust, K&N filter, pcV, driven 520 kit -1 +2
Problem: I have noticed this since I put the exhaust on the bike (approximately 2k miles ago). Sometimes when I let off after a kinda high rev (7k-9K) I get a small quick puff of white smoke out the exhaust. If the smoke is grey at all, it is very very light grey. Im not sure if it does this when the bike is cold, because I dont rev it when its cold, but it does it when its warmed up. I have only noticed it when its sitting in neutral, but a buddy said he noticed it a little bit when I let off after a hard acceleration.
I have read some post where people say that it might be coolant, but surely I dont have a head gasket issue already? Plus, I havent noticed a sweet smell, or any smell with the smoke.
It doesnt do it at all when idling, normal driving around, or all the time when I rev, just if I do it just right.
I baby the bike, get the oil changed every 2k miles, and keep it out of very high RPMs for the most part. I havent even touched the rev limiter on it.
Surely I dont have a problem like head gasket or ring issue....
HELLLPPP!!!!! :frown:
Thanks,
Kyle
