Without knowing what kind of motorcycle you have makes it difficult to properly diagnose the problem. However, from what you have described, it sounds like the oil/fuel ratio is off (too much oil) and the sparkplug is fouling.

SOURCE: my keeway hurricane 50cc suddenly started smoking terribly bad

This may be to the automatic oiler that mixes the oil with the gas. I have a oiler on my 50cc Yamaha Zuma.

SOURCE: engine problems on a kx 250 2 stroke

On a 2 stroke bike cause of smoke is due to excess oil in the fuel oil mixture, incomplete combustion in the cylinder or the engine oil finding it way in through the piston rings into the firing chamber. Check the oil levels and clean the plugs, which must be black in color by now, so replace if possible and if engine oil is low, the change the piston rings. Also look up the carburetor jets/nozzles are clean and the engine gets the correct fuel/air mixture by adjusting both fuel and air jets(turns)...sodeep

SOURCE: Smoke alot

You jetting is off on your carb. Raise the clip on the needle in the carb, if it still does it.....the it will need smaller jets.....see a motorcycle shop.Your bike is a two stroke and will smoke with oil coming out the exhaust if card is too rich. What raio do you mix your gas/oil at? Disregard the first post....he must think its a four stroke engine.

Please help with my Peugeot speedfight 2 50cc ac

Get it De-Coked. When a 2 stroke runs, it burns the oil and this causes a build up of tar and carbon in the exhaust and around the inside of the combustion chamber. This leads to a decrease in performance especially after the use of a learner. This would also give the white smoke and spluttering. Take it to a bike shop or buy a manual and try it yourself. It is a simple job. Good luck.

I have an 81 kawasaki ke 125. I was riding the other day for about an hour and it suddenly started to backfire and billow white smoke. When it started to backfire it lost a lot of power. It will also not...

Could be that you have blown the piston rings, firstly i would remove the rear silencer, as 2 strokes bellow out exsess smoke and loose power when the silencer becomes blocked due to carbon, start and run the bike and check without the silencer, furthermore to eliminate the exhaust itself is blocked, undo it from the cylinde

Shutters smokes like crazy idles bad loss of

what color is the smoke if it is blue it is from oil which indicates a lot of oil is getting into the combustion chamber & being burnt which means you have a serious problem ( either rings or valve guides & seals) if it is black it is excessive fuel & you have a problem with the carburetor,maybe sticking needle & seat or the float has a hole in it & has filled up with petrol or fuel injectors which ever your vehicle has ...........cheershope this helps....

2009 KTM 250 exc-f excessive oil use, no apparent oil leaks or blue smoke

It is normal for these bikes to use some oil. A typical, maintained 250 4 stroke will use a pint of oil or more in one day of riding - depending on a lot of variables, of course. Oil consumption on these four strokes is quite typical.

AUDI A4.24 SLIGHT VEHICLE VIBRATION

If your engine is not misfiring but it vibrates too much while idling your motor mounts might be getting worn out. I had a Nissan with bad motor mounts. I was ok in park but when you put it in gear it vibrated a lot. It smoothed right out as soon as you started moving.

Smoke alot

sounds like the bike is in need of new piston rings especially if that much oil is blowing on such a newer bike. if the crankcase is not overfilled, then focus on rings especially if the sparkplug is oily too.
