Burning oil !

Hi all,
My FE 400 (2002) has just started blowing blue smoke when cold until the bike has been run for about 15 mins.
Once it has been run for this time there is no smoke at all.
It doesn`t do it on tickover but only when underload on the road.

Could this be just the rings or some thing else ?

Cheers Bob.

Also just to add the bike starts up first or second kick hot or cold.
 
well, either way I would have the head off and have a look. are you using oil? if not then it could be petrol. as I have reported here recently, the fuel valves are getting weaker and weaker on all the old dell orto carbs.

it costs little to whip the head off and get the piston to BDC - damage to the bore and rings?

regards

Taffy
