Ok I have been pulling my hair out with this problem.
I have a 1998 Superhawk with 33,000 miles on it. Very hard miles mind you. This spring I put a clutch in it, and replaced the needles with adjustable ones, and removed the pair valve.
Shortly after all of this it started smoking out of the exhaust when coming to a hard stop.
Now I though maybe it was the pair valve? So I put it back in. Still smokes
Next I thought maybe the needles? I put the stock ones back in! Still smokes
Next I though maybe it was my oil level too high. Nope right on the money. I even went so far as to drain every last drop out of it and replace it with the exact amount the manual calls for.
I don't know what coul dbe causing this. Bad rings? Bad Valve guides?
It doesn't smoke while riding it. It doesn't smoke when I start it. Only when I come to a hard stop.
Please please please help me. Is it possible that it needs a rebuild already at 33,000 miles? Is it possible that someone pulled a fast one on me and it has more miles than on the odometer?
I am ready to set a match to the gas tank and roast some marshmallows with it.
