my bike has started smoking white smoke not to much but constant it is a yamaha yb100 it is a single cylinder air cooled bike i took the gearbox oil out and it smelt a little of petrol should it smell like this? and the plug was black you couldnt see wet oil but if you touched it you would have oil on your hand the bike starts great first kick every time even in the morning. thanks for the help

bike will not idle at all since ive gotten it ive put in some 2 stroke oil the brand is called sthil or something like that

bought it about 1 week ago the bike took 4 kicks this morning to start but it started nicely i forgot to say this before but usually when i start it it takes around about 3 seconds for the revs to come on

ok thanks for all your help top man

nice one thanks mate will do that tomorrow i wouldnt say the bike is running bad but it was when i bought it but i fixed that because the ignition points where closed completly i was surprised the bike even started is the gearbox breather pipe a little black pipe near the back brake pedal thing xD?

ok thanks for your help will smell the gearbox oil tomorrow and see another thing you could help me with if you like is that the bike starts first kick every time even on a cold morning without any choke but it wont tick over im wondering if it is running to rich?

will have a smell tomorrow in the gear oil and let you know is replacing crank seals a expensive/hard job and will the new seals have to be run in? edit: i also think there was alot of oil on the spark plug if that helps

the engine smelt very hot the white smoke is there always but more when i rev it there is less smoke when it is cold and i can smell fuel

hello i have a 1988 yamaha yb100 deluxe i took it out today and ride it for quite a while i noticed it was smoking out of the exhaust alot and the engine smelt hot i wondered if anyone could tell me what this could be i was also running lowish on petrol the smoke was white

hello just thought id say hello i am new to this forum i have a yamaha yb100 deluxe 1988 just wanted to ask if i need a new chain as when i rev it the chain rattles a bit

hello i have a problem with my 1988 yamaha yb100 deluxe it will usually start 1st/or 2nd kick in the morning with no choke but it will only run with the petrol tap on reserve when i switch it to on it dies after about 1-2 minutes it bogs down and cuts out today i was riding it and just before it started raining my bike bogged down and stopped there was a bit of revs there but it was wierd they kept going up then dying until it cut out i didnt get my bike started again but i think this may be because the fuel was lowish my bike also will idle for 10 seconds some times and dies or doesnt idle at all. thanks for your help edit: found out why it bogged down and cut out it was out of petrol lol
