[anthonyMember]

gday guyz n gals,had a few problems with my 98 xr 600,i went through what i thought to be
a shallow rut.turned out deeper than the murray river,when i got out the bike coughed farted and carried on.cruising at 110kmh it would cut out like it was flooding.i look down and theres a heap of fuel pissin out.think the carby need a clean?

next up we have smoke blue in colour coming from exhaust i think its only when slowing down,i look back under power and it seems to be smoke free plz help tired of this smoke :huh: :S

cheers all glow!!!

going off your symptoms glow, I would say valve guides and or rings. you may need to do a compression check.

oh yeah almost forgot,pull your carb out and give her a good clean,check your float height,choke plate and jets 3 beer job

thanks ollie but if it were rings wouldnt it blow smoke on the throttle?

[DeanMember]

depends how far gone they are, compression check will confirm it for you mate. Mick or TB should be able to confirm it for you as they are XR heads

cheers ollie,carbs been out and cleaned its back in running no probs still smokey tho.

Probably valve guides and seals, will PM you my mobile number as there are way to many variables to a decision here, you can post up what you find and why later if that helps

There are also a couple of ways using a compression gauge to confirm if its valves and guides or rings
