[loverobot]

after caning one of my fzr600s for four solid days in blistering temps in spain i have the following probs -

white smoke out of exhaust when cold and when warm but revved hard
blackish fluid dripping from the exhaust join where the can meets the downpipes - seems only when cold
losing oil - quite quickly

i am thinking

rings
valves
maybe a fuelling prob

what do i need to look at, in what order and will i need to remove the engine from the frame?

i have another engine i could put in but it is from a race bike and currently has no starter clutch so would need to swap that over

also the 'oily' bike cost me £300!! so i dont want to lob loads of cash at it

thanks
