Looking for some pointers, this has got me a little beat.
Bike smokes a little (hard to tell if oil or fuel, maybe both), after a 20 min ride you can wipe damp residue off the muffler tip, maybe a mix of oil and fuel - it's hard to tell.
Went for a 70km ride a few weekends ago, arrived home to a smoking breather pipe, checked dipstick and it was almost on the bottom line. Before the ride it was about 3/4 full.
A little oil on the fins and around #1&4 plugs. No other oil leaks around gaskets.
Plugs usually look really rich and damp, but after the long ride the plugs were dry and no build up. My guess is it was running abit warm and leaned up a little.
Did a compression check this arvo, bike has been sitting for a few weeks. 120, 110, 110, 115 cold.
I was expecting rings to be the issue, given the breather smoke.
Rebuild was apparently redone by PO, head/valves reconditioned (not sure what reconditioned included), new rings, primary drive and cam chains.
I was originally chasing a rich condition thinking the smoke was fuel, so carbs are spotless and balanced.
Next step from all research is probably a leak down test - unless anyone has other ideas?
