Smoke !

Im getting a bit of blue oil smoke on tickover guys and that
soon clears given a rev. All is in very fair order internally,
with new valve guides and rings etc so its a bit of a mystery so
far. I seem to remember a posting somewhere in regard to the oil
level, in that (I think), the best level is attained by dipping
the sump without the dipstick screwed right in. Does this ring a
bell with anyone please ?

Correct oil level is with the dipstick pushed in, and resting on
the top thread (i.e. not screwed in). What's not so clear is how
the bike should sit when taking the reading. Putting on the
centre stand is simple, but then the back's up in the air.
Probably the correct way is sitting on the bike, upright. I
would have suspected the guides, but if you've just done
them....
You say you just fitted new rings. Did you hone the bore first?
If it's glazed, the rings won't have bedded in and you may get
some blow by?

Ive found the problem Jake. The rings are new yes, but Ive
removed the cylinder again to check them in the bore. Turns out
they must have been chosen from the wrong tray (think I got them
from TLM but cant be sure now) and theyre too small. Ive had a
look at the SMS. MOTO site and theyve a full range so I will get
them from there. Teach me to check them next time wont it !

By 'too small' I mean theres a gap in every ring when installed
in the bore and so I will be losing pressure ion both
directions. Buying new spares can be as problematic as second
hand stuff sometimes !
