A mate of mine has been offered a cr 250 that needs a bit of work.

He,s not interested in it himself so im in with a chance of it.

As i say it needs a bit of work not been mot,ed for a while (is registered) The main problem is its blowing white smoke? quite a bit.

thanks chaps

Is the bike using any water or gearbox oil?

does it run ok?

are the rads pressurising?

It could also your crank shaft oil seals. Check your plug and see what colour it is.

Should give you a good idea if its black and oily then its burning oil.

To much 2 stroke oil ?.....or cheaper oil will make if puff a bit.

Been to see the bike this morning and decided to give it a miss,

There was very little oil in the gearbox and no water in the rads either.

Did sound nice but needs a bit to much work for me.

Thats for the sound advice cheers
