good question....lolDon't you need a motorcycle license to do track days?
I'm sorry I was mistaken in my earlier post what you are experiencing is smoke coming from your muffler bearings, and the only thing that can cause your muffler bearings to get hot enough to smoke is a carburetor belt slipping, both are very costly repairs but I'd be willing to do a favor for a fellow forum member and take it off your hands for $500. I know you will be loosing money but those repairs will cost in excess of $7500
you would be ..... when was the last time you changed and flushed your headlight fluid citrus? it may be over dew...i hear if you let the wobbler bearing go for to long your handling will go to shit as well...Wait a minute.
I'm so confused
Well, Buzz, you really answered your own question there. You said you adjusted the OD Modulator all the way North. But, unless you flipped the grips at some point, you should have made the adjustment all the way South. Then they are phase-coupled with the throttle direction. I hope that helps.You know, since ya'll are being SO helpful to this obviously sincere, unlicensed rider, who happens to "own" a bike, that he's never ridden, but wishes to sell:
I've noticed that my bike goes FORWARD when I twist the handle-thingy BACKWARD!!! WTF!! I'm thinking maybe that the carb belt (previously pointed out to us noobs) is on backwards and it's making the carbs suck in when they should be blowing out. Yes, yes, I've taken the left handed Filipe's screw driver (paid a pretty penny for that one) and fully adjusted the belt tensioner overdrive modulator all the way to the North, just like it says here on the forum (use the search function). But no dice. *sigh*
Ah, the light dawns! I did not personally flip the grips, but the bike is used. Perhaps the previous owner did. In which case, by adjusting the ODM to the North, I was actually making the problem worse! That explains a lot. That's why it goes so fast when I turned the grip backward! Who would've thought??!!Well, Buzz, you really answered your own question there. You said you adjusted the OD Modulator all the way North.

No I'm pretty sure it's the carburetor belt slipping...I'm wondering if coolant leaked into the oil via a crack in the block or head gasket problem. Even though it doesn't smell like traditional coolant coming out of the exhaust, someone might have replaced the coolant with water or Engine Ice or some other product that doesn't smell like traditional coolant being burned. Open the radiator cap and look for oil residue contaminating the coolant, then pull the oil dipstick and look for a white(ish) residue on it. If you have either situation, you probably have an oil/coolant contamination problem. At this point, you would need to track down whether it is a head gasket problem or a crack in the block or head.
I'd also top off all the fluids and see if you are losing coolant, if you are losing a lot of coolant and can't see a visible leak, you may be looking at a crack or head gasket.
Sheesh... looks like we got a joker on our hands guys. What kind of response is this? All of us are giving this guy honest genuine advice and you come in with some smart ass response like that.
