[QUOTE="pdee4t, post: 179288, member: 1594"] on closer inspection, im just wondering if the fuel somehow mixed with the oil, causing the exhaust to blow out white smoke. reason why i think this is because, after that water puddle, the bike didn't stall. I kept riding for 5 or so minutes until me and my mate stacked on a hill and the bike was on it's side for 5-6 minutes while helping him pick up his bike and roll it back down the hill(his bike has no side stand). When I got back to my bike, fuel was seeping out of the top of the fuel tank, where the cap sits, even though the fuel switch was turned off. wondering if it would be that the bike was on it's side for a while, so the engine oil went up through the crank breather hose that goes into the carby intake funnel, then mixed it all together and out through the air box via gravity or something along those lines? the fuel I used was yellow in color, the oil I use is like a light brown color, that's the same color that was in my air box. the fact that it ran for 5 minutes without any effect probably means it wasn't actually water inside there?
