Title: ENGINE SMOKE
Post by: 300EXRACER on March 07, 2006, 12:53:49 AM
i just bought my 1997 honda trx300ex yesterday and today i was messing around with it. I saw that the engine was letting alot of smoke out? i think it was from where the exhaust goes into the engine head but i dont know? does anyone know what i should do?

What kind of smoke is it? Oil buring smoke or white greyish smoke? Does it come out of the end of the exhaust? Could be bad valve seals.
