Header smoking
05/08/12 at 20:39:51

So now that I've been riding my bike alittle bit more I notice that the header smokes when I'm at a stop.
What I think is that the oil from the head plug leak is getting on te header and making it smoke. Is this correct? It doesn't smoke a lot but it does definetly smoke.

What can I do to stop this?

Sorry for all the questions guys, I'm a young guy, just learning usually my dad would help me with all this but he lives in another country now.

Thanks everyone

I gotten a bike from a guy who had put 5 quarts of oil in the bike when it only needs 2. Reason I say that is because it usually takes a bit more than a drip to burn and smoke in the pipe. Is it smoking from the end or where the clamp is?
