Scott, Welcome!
Depending on the oil you use, you may not see any smoke. What oil are you running in there?
Also, the airbox will tend to gather a little oil but let's be sure that the oil line that feeds to your carb is still connected. To check it out you'll have to remove your 4 seat bolts and lift out the seat/storage compartment.
Look for a small oil line that runs to a nipple on the side of the carb. If you have access to a camera and can show a pic of it (the carb) that would be very helpful.

Scott, let us know what you find. Bel Ray is a great oil. Typically, if it's 100% synthetic then it will smoke very little if at all. Semi-synthetics smoke a little more and regular dino oils usually smoke the most.
Your setup is a better version of my Geely but I had a horrible time with the oil leaking out through the carb and onto my garage floor. There is a spring/ball bearing assembly on the throat of the carb and mine was missing the ball bearing.
So I found and put a ball bearing back in and it still leaked. That's when I just decided to remove the oil injector and run premix.
Your scoot is made with much better parts than my Geely was, so I don't think you'll have to worry about that, but you may want to check the spring/ball bearing assembly.
Be careful if you do, though, and don't lose those small parts or all the oil will leak out of your oil tank and into the carb, filling it up, then onto the ground.

I recently switched to Bel-Ray Si-7 and I hardly smoke at all anymore. Went for a ride with another Dawg the other day and he said (riding behind me) that when we hit a really steep hill, my scoot smoked a bit, the rest of the ride, he didn't see any.
The Bel-Ray ought to put out a little wiff of smoke when you first start it and then none unless you're really straining the engine.

Thanks,Scott I get oil every once in a while on my airbox, I think it's pretty common. I use BelRay Si7 too, no smoke from the exhaust but it does collect at the base of the airbox. I just wipe it out every couple 1000km's. |
