White Smoke - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I got on the bike today for 0.1 miles just to roll the tires. I had it winterized w/ Fuel Stabil and the battery tender jr. The battery starts better than before! However, there is white smoke out of the exhaust when I rev it up a bit and it smells kinda funny. Even after I parked the bike and turned it off, there was still some white smoke coming out! Is this normal? TIA!

id say moisture. hot exhaust fumes on cold steel. if you are going to run it to roll the tires, i would go more than 0.1 miles. i was cold but i did 5 miles just to move it around and i made sure it got to temp for a while. im no expert but thats my opinion.

+1 It isn't smoke, it's moisture.

the fuel stabilizer burns off after a tank, and it stinks until its gone.

Yeah, like said above... take it out and run it good to get everything hot and burn out any moisture. Short trips are not good for any engine if they are not brought up to a good temp before shut off.
