Goodday All. I have decided it is time to get off my butt and get my old brick mobile. I bought the bike three years ago as a project but it ended up in the back of the shed covered in a blanket.When purchased it was grossly over filled with oil and blew huge clouds of oil smoke when running. I had it running for a couple of minutes with no exhaust and no4 was giving a bit of smoke . Is it possible that when stored for extended periods on the side stand with excess oil in the engine that oil could get into the muffler? I had a similar experience but to a lesser degree with a r100gs. Parked for 4 days on the side stand and it blew a heap of smoke on start up but cleared after a few minutes. I am thinking of installing a new set of rings but need guidance.
