White Smoke

[Ivan Florida]

I was riding my CR125R 2005 during the weekend when suddenly a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust. No power lost only a lot of white smoke. I installed a JD jetting kit, FMF SST pipe, V-Force reed valves, and FMF silencer. Any advice?

did you lose any coolant?

If yes, could be a bad head gasket or base gasket.

With the rad cap off, check the coolant, if you see lots of bubble with the bike running, you have a gasket issue.

Remove & replace, and you should be good to go.

While it's apart, measure everything, and replace parts as needed.

Rings & piston are a good bet for needing replaced.

Thank you Indy for your reply.

Any advice, recommendation or tips to avoid this situation in the future.

I was using a NGK BR9ES and 32-1 mix ratio. Also I was riding trails.

Regular maintenance..

On a 2 stroke race bike, you should be doing a tear down at the very least every winter.

If you're racing, quite a bit more.

Thanks again Indy.
