[QUOTE="Rob84KDX200, post: 1393138, member: 50725"] Here's a lil video clip. I took the bike out again today, had it idling for about 5-10 minutes. [url]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xdeogs_1996-kdx200-at-idle_auto[/url] However, I'm a lil concerned with the smoke. Why am I concerned? Well, as previously stated, I had put in about 800ml of Castrol MTX gearbox oil. After the idle session today, I proceeded to drain the engine oil. Wanting to refill with fresh oil. After a quick drain, I had measured only a touch under 700mls drained. "Where did that 100mls go?" - I'm wondering. Definitely not out through the crankcase vent tube. That's still as clean as a whistle, no oil exiting through there whatsoever. I'm 'hoping' it's not due to bad crank seals. Would bad crank seals be evident at idle? In my case it doesn't seem to be. As you can see in the video, it is quite acceptable at idle. Very little smoke. It's only when opening up the throttle that the smoke is probably a bit too much. What do you think? Your thoughts? Would the color of the smoke and/or sound of the engine indicate burning engine oil? Is it possible for the engine to retain 100mls of engine oil after draining? I had the bike on a lift stand when draining the oil, so it was vertical. Or is it a simple case of leaning the main jet even more from where it's at now? (@ 155 - 152? - 150?) Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
