Ok I got a gasket leak and we are going to change it soon and i was wondering if the blue smoke is from that? What else if not they is it caused from?

i think blue smoke has somthing to do with oil.

What gasket?

Generally blue smoke means burning oil and it seems the most common causes are valve seals or rings.

When does it smoke?

More when i first start but it smokes for the whole time while im riding. The guy i got it from was running honda gold or something and now im running 10w-40... The head gasket is blown and i dunno how the rings are..?

vavle seals or piston rings.. could be real cheap if you replace them now.. i had to rebuild my motor cuz i didnt replace my rings. i ran it out of oil then she gave way =(

Yea i check my oil before i ride it and after i ride a bit ill let it cool down and check it again.

if the head gasket is blown really bad, it would smoke. mine did on me trying to show off in front of a few girls:D

dont quote me on this but it might also be your piston rings, but again i am not sure.
