G11 smoking on RH pot

Post by g80csp11 »

Why do so many 600's smoke on the right hand pot , and not the left
Not just mine , but about 50% of those on our run today
Ok , perhaps mine was the worst

Rings / Bores generally good condition
Valves and guides used but not bad

Is there a fix , other than leaving it at home !

On a single you know you have only one Cylinder to Recondition and Cure the Oil Smoke ?.
Trouble is do all TWINS wear one cylinder more tha the other ?
Or is there more oil around one cylinder ?
Or ??
Lots of FUN coming your way soon .

Ride WITH CARE and LIVE LONG to ENJOY your bike`s and Scooter`s .

It's all to do with the camber on the road, constantly leaning bike to the right , so more oil splash to that side. Where as over here it's the left cylinder that smokes a bit.
Any way why are you allowing your G11 to smoke 'pot'? :rofl:
