Fired up the Bandit 400 yesterday, for the first time since last season, and took it for a spin. It took a lot of cranking to finally fire up and when it did, it blew some black smoke initially, then it puffed blue smoke until it was ridden a bit. I can understand the black smoke, it was running on choke and took awhile to start; the blue smoke has me befuddled though. Any thoughts? It went away completely once it was warmed up. I'm gonna start it cold again tonight and see what happens. Thinking valve seals shrank a bit over the Winter. It's only got 9300 miles, but it's 14 years old.
It ran great otherwise, BTW. What a fun little bike to toss around on a back road.
