was riding to work today when a bloke on a bike came round a corn up ahead, and the bike was blowing smoke out. and when i say smoke, it's hard to convey the sheer scale of the smokiness, it wasnt just coming from the exhaust, but spewing out from around all the fairings aroud the general engine area Shocked it was so much smoke infact, the the road behind him for about 10 meters was whited out, and i could still visibly see the cloud about a mile down the road Laughing

as i passed, i just looked at him an he gave me a look that said iknow, i know, bitch aint it Laughing

still dont know what it was though Confused

Hi

White smoke? Probably steam. Major water leak somewhere.

All the best

Either that or an oil leak on to the downpipes ... happened to me a year or so back on my GSX1400 ... it looked like a contrail from a bomber!!

All the best ... Barry

Hi

Possibly, although I would expect a more grey / blue smoke from that.

And I would start looking for his oil filler cap Laughing .

All the best

I had something similar pulling up to a junction after I'd punctured my oil-cooler. It was wet, and I was expecting a lot of steam anyway but...
