| 98 mach z 800 - excessive smoke
I have a 98 mach z with 5000 miles - that smokes more than normal.
each head has measured 125 lbs
starts up and rides good
doesnt foul plugs
just has excessive smoke - that smells like burnt oil
-someone told me to check the injector adjustment marks ?
any help would be helpful |

if still smoking, try underclocking the engine, might help things run cooler, less smoke  |
