#3 pipe is cold

[trbig]

I went out and looked again, and I was wrong. Seems I remember not liking to twist the fuel "T" all around to face up, so left the inlet pointed at the bottom. To keep that like that, you had to cross the lines to the opposite sides. Trying to keep it on the same side would make the line kink since it was too tight a bend. This is more like how the lines run. You could keep from crossing them and have them like what he was talking about by turning the fuel "T" straight up, it just doesn't leave you much wiggle room. Crossing them gives me enough slack to raise the tank up a bit to remove the fuel line. This is actually how my lines are routed.. Sorry.

Well pipe #3 is hot finally. The thing is that now it really smokes alot put some seafoam in before the line swap but it did not smoke before what can cause this.

Could just be burning out all the unburned fuel and oil from when it wasn't firing properly. Will probably clear up with a bit of riding.

That's what i thought but coming from both pipes...

Hmm. Still smoking from both pipes?

Not as much

How many miles on it since the repair?

A friend of mine and fellow XSive totally fubared an engine and was pumping oil into the headers due to a big hole in the piston. We changed exhaust when we changed the engine. I now have the exhaust and put it on another bike. Left it sit upside down for a while and even after a week or so, oil would still accumulate on the lip of the pipe. And it showed when I fired it up, man did it smoke for a bit.

I would say 50 kms since the fuel line swap and now just a bit of smoke comes out when I really red line it so I guess the seafoam is going away or the oil deposi is going away

thanks
