White smoke coming out of my yamaha 2008 r6 whenever i start the bike. why is the white smoke coming out ?

Sometimes the exhaust blows out white smoke sometimes it does not. sounds funny when i start the bike like almost as if something is in the way, but it starts good, just sounds like at first it gets clogged up, then the bike turns on and white smoke comes out the exhaust.

Check your ground wires, that can cause a fuse to blow..Make sure the replacement fuse is same amperage as the original....the fan on this is only supposed to run at low traffic speeds right? you shouldn't need it at highway speeds.. Good luck to you friend....Tim

SOURCE: 1974 TX500, high idle, white smoke from breather tube

The idle problem is a lean fuel mix caused by an air leak in the intake system. Bad gaskets /seals on the intake manifold, bad valves, bad piston rings, loose spark plugs, and bad head gasket are all things that can lean the fuel/air mix. The smoke indicates a need for new rings. I would have the cylinders bored then install new pistons and rings. Now finish the top end work by getting a valve job. You should get a liquid fuel tank liner to eliminate any rust problems in the future. Also, install an in-line fuel filter. Google “ kreem fuel tank liner “ or go to www.http://www.4secondsflat.com/Fuel_Tank_Sealer.html


My complements on the well cleaned carbs. Do the work mentioned above an you will effectively have a new engine.

SOURCE: R6 hesitation when starting out

Not often i see good questions like this. I would start with riching the carbs a bit. Another possible simple solution is to get your plugs check to make sure they are firing at full capacity, either one can cause the problems you have described. My first guess though would be the carbs, it sounds like the throttle is set a bit off to what it should be at. The fact that your bike runs fine otherwise also suggests this conclusion.

SOURCE: 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 turn signal wiring harnes

sorry.. i don't know off the top of my head but super simple way to check.. get an electrical tester that pierces the wire and turns on a light.. ($5 at walmart--seriously) turn on left signal, check the wires.. the one that is flashing is your left signal... so on and so forth..

(this tool will be super handy in the future also)

2008 yamaha r6 white smoke out of exhaust and when i cut the bike off it will not start again

Sounds like it overheated. White smoke can be oil but, with it not starting sounds like coolant and it overheated. Take it to a repair facility for confirmation.

Pop noise with thick white smoke from front end,

sounds like you might have a cracked cylinder and oil puddled up inside over night and when you started it..it blew out through the exhaust. White smoke means oil...black smoke means gas ,and blue smoke means both..if you cracked a water jacket your oil will look like a bubbly milk shake.....take a look at your oil.
