Title: RAPTOR 350 SMOKING WHEN FIRST STARTED
Post by: GRAPTOR on July 15, 2008, 06:17:00 AM: I JUST CHANGED MY OIL TO 20W-50W (YAMALUBE) DEALER RECOMMENDED DUE TO SUMMER HEAT. I CHANGE IT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO AND I HAVEN'T RIDIN IT AT ALL. SO WHEN I STARTED IT UP IT SMOKED LIKE CRAZY FOR ABOUT A GOOD 30 SECONDS AND HAS NEVER REALLY DID THIS BEFORE. COULD THIS BE A COMBINATION OF CHANGING THE OIL AND NOT RIDING IT FOR A WHILE? IS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT?

Has it done it since?

Smoke pouring out of exhaust or else where?
