Tenere broken in Toulouse!
Hey Folks,
A quick question if I may. I'm on a 2008 Tenere (XT660Z @ 28,000 miles) just ridden down from Edinburgh and having problems with the oil..! I'm not asking for help or a hand out, just an opinion.
It's drinking loads of oil (read: LOTS over 1 litre in 2 days), thin black smoke coming out the back on acceleration and oil filling the airbox drain pipe, which when drained and inspected, there's an odour of petrol and a burnt smell.
It has power and starts fine but I've decided to hang on here in Toulouse and see a Yamaha garage. I'm thinking piston rings..? Or valves....?
Funny though....... if it is the valves, it's just been serviced by Yamaha before I set off specifically asking them to check the valves. The rings I had go on another XT600e and got blue (not black) smoke from the back end whilst drinking oil like a fish. hence the thought on valves.
Any takers on something different? reckon the warranty might cover it here in France? I've definatly missed the HU Andalucia meet and am gutted!
Opinions would be appreciated and lets see if the french agree. (Mais NON Monsieur...... la moto est bon, but your hair is a mess!") LOL
