06 650, I've got 130 miles on this quad now, just over 11 hrs or so. Doing some riding last night, twice under full throttle condition I noticed a bit of lag in the motor, both times I looked back to find a quite a bit of white smoke pouring out the exhaust. After letting off the throttle it went away and didn't come back for about 20mins then it did it again. Everything else with the quad was fine, no lights on the dash and it didn't seem to be running hot at all.

The only thing I changed was I installed a twinair filter last night. When removing the factory air filter I noticed that under the metal screen where the carbs are there was what i thought was a bunch of air filter oil around the carb openings. Even a little running down into the intake. Looks to me like the dealer just loaded the filter with oil. Can a bit of oil in the carbs make that much smoke???

what makes white smoke?? is that water getting into the motor??

Anyways I want to give the dealership a call today but I'm not to sure how competent they are. They just started selling Kawi about 2 months ago. Any input you might have would be appreciated as I will directly relay that info to the dealer...

thanks guys

 

I posted on your other thread.

 

You have too much oil in the crankcase, it should be below the full mark. As long as you did not sink it under water that should be the problem. It is amazing to me that the dealers are still fill these motors up to the brim with oil as everyone knows they will blow it up into the airbox

 

wHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE? COULD BE ANTIFREEZE... MAYBE, BUT IF YOU CAN SMELL IT AND TELL WHAT IT IS, IT'LL HELP DIAGNOSE. OIL, FUEL, ANTIFREZE?
