I run the same oil and also at 50/1 and it does not smoke a lot. Have you clean out the exhust? I found that mine smoked a lot with the old exhust until I burned it out. just a guess

no not cleaned it out do you mean whole exhaust or just tail pipe what did you clean it out with ?

or how did you clean it out ?

thanks

try giving it a bit of a thrashing that should clean it out well enough see if it smokes less after that

Hi I mean the whole exhust. i started a fire in a big steel drum and put the exhust in the fire and let it burn overnight. Do not try it this way if it's alum. If you get the exhust good and hot like after a long long ride and it still smokes after you shut the motor off then it's oil build up in the exhust.

I run Yamalube 2r at 70-1 with know problems and less smoke.

cleaned whole exhaust soaked it for five hours in a red hot caustic bath all clean now no excessive smoke its perrrrrrrrrrrrfect

also cleaned the insulation in tail pipe as it was dripping in oil

so all sorted

cheers
