Motorcycle Repair: honda xr 70 1999 - smokes alot, honda xr 70, engine components


Question
The bike smokes continually while riding and still starts fairly easily but not as easy as first.  Would this be rings or values??  Just bought this used bike and it wasn't smoking quit this much until I topped up the oil - it was fairly low.  

Answer
Hi Gerry,

It's difficult for me to accurately diagnose this problem without being present and performing a few checks.

It may be worn the result of engine components or other problems.

I recommend that you have a local tech inspect it for you.
