I have a new 2008 KTM 530 EXC-R. It barely has 100 miles because I ordered new jets. Anyhow, when I was riding during the first 100 miles, I noticed that if I stayed at a stop for too long, tons of white smoke would come out of the exhaust. I later found out my bike was running too rich. Anyhow, as I was taking the boot out of the air filter section I noticed that my air filter was all blue, when it should be an orange yellow.
So I'm guessing that when I stayed at a stop with the engine running for too long, the engine overheated and somehow the coolant got into the air filter, which I'm guessing led to the white smoke. Does anybody know what causes this? Should I be worried. Is this part of the break in period? The manual says nothing about this. I'm gonna contact the KTM dealership but I wanted to see what you guys had to say.
