If its blue its oil, hello rebuild. Check compression.

Quad was runnin hot because it was a low oil level. Very bottom of the dip stick. Was only ran for about 20 minutes. didnt realize it was that low

Honestly as long as there is oil on the dipstick, the oil level probably wasnt low enough to hurt anything.

Hows the temps at your house?

I know here, its been like 100+ everyday and very dry... Almost too hot to ride. (keyword... ALMOST! LOL)

Its so dang dusty here, you cant stand to ride though.

Gotten less than an inch of rain in 5 months.

Worst drought since 1933 for the area.

Anyways, my point is some quads will puff a little blue smoke in extreme heat.

Yeah Ik. Yesterday it was only like 80if that. One day when I was ridin and it was really hot it puffed a little but this was very noticable only on decel. Ill change my oil and see if it still does it.

Had my Dad look at my motor. Valve seals are bad and rings are starting to go. Rebuild this winter! Wiseco 416 11:1 and hotcam sound good?

[dxcody]

Heck yea!

:devil:

Anything else I should replace while I'm in there?

[CJM]

Timing chain and possibly timing chain guides and tensioner.

[HondaRacing83]

How much will those 3 things run?

[2001400exrida]

the timing chain is important to replace, same with the guides, if you see any wear on the edges or center of the guides, get new ones.

I bought the wiseco timing chain when i did it, it was around $50. the chain guides are a bit pricey as well....they cost about $35 each. just check your tensioner if it's working properly you won't need a new one. otherwise figure another $60 for a new tensioner.
