Hi all, having replaced the timing and distributer chains and given the SM fresh oils all round I finally got to take it out today.
Starts runs really well but when I got back I noticed some puffs of smoke coming from the breather from the primary chaincase.
The engine breathes quite heavily from the end of the crank through the chaincase and I've just fitted the proper metal breather pipe which vents above the chain (previously was a plastic pipe and union). I've always had a bit of ATF blown out but never smoke before. It doesn't smell like burning oil or burning electrics but smoke is almost sickly sweet. I wonder if it's burning AFT?
My question is, have I used the wrong ATF in there? I've not used this one before and was given a large can.
Bike is sweet and hasn't done this before! Only thing new is the oil, chains, breather and ATF!
Dont seem to be able to upload images at the moment it is MVATF
