Ok all knowing MRA forum, I need some help. I started up the bike tonight and let it warm up so I could drain the antifreeze and flush with water and it puffed some blue smoke, not on startup but when warm it did it when I let off the throttle or when I revved it quickly.
Never did this last season at all, only things I have done around the motor are change coolant, clean out the airbox, reconnect the battery, tighten throttle cable, change the oil/filter with a different brand, and re-seal the alternator cover with a new gasket.
Is there any way the change in oil or filter could cause this? What about the seal of the alternator? (I used a small amount of RTV where the wires exit but was careful not to put too much that would get inside the case).
Bike has never misbehaved, should I run it Saturday or park it until I can take it in?
