I posted a month or 2 about my polaris smoking-white smoke- and i got the sea foam that was suggested and it seemed to help a little, but it is still smoking. you can barely notice at idle but when you give it a little throttle you can see it, and then if you gun it, it really shows smoke... i don't ride it that much...maybe once every 2-3 weeks right now, fresh oil change 5 days ago...any ideas or anything i can pour in the gas/oil?

 

The patch? j/k Didn't read the original post, so not familiar with all the details. Sound like it's a cooling leak. Could be warped or cracked head. Have you kept an eye on the coolant level?

 

It could only be coolant most likely the head is screwed. Do a cylinder leak down test that should tell you.

Polarisbear....We know white smoke is usually water/coolant but, out of curiosity have you checked compression numbers on the machine?
Being that it is a 1999 according to your photos/profile you have had no internal maintenance from normal operation since it was new.
Maybe time for piston rings....head gasket....boring..? Maybe blowby from weak or sticking rings has caused a head gasket failure and it is trying to warn you before real damage is incurred?
I did not read previous post either but I myself would say the head gasket is suspect.
Under off idle conditions do ya hear any unusual air or whistleling noises?
Water on palm of hand when you put it over pipe end?
I really feel your machine is telling you to check my piston/bore/rings/replace head gaskets etc.
BE CAUTIOUS, I hope ya figure it out. It just may be time for inter maintenance.

 

hey all, thanks for the advice, i will have the headgasket and pistons and such looked at right away. i don't need this thing to mess up on me and cost a ton of money right now, thanks
