Any help: when tiger 02 starts in the morning quite an amount of white (really White) smoke comes out the pipe, quite fuel smell too, any idea about it? Thanks ever so much.

I get white smoke every morning too. I get more in cold weather, but I think mine is steam, or water vapor.

If it is actually smoke it'll likely be oil seeping down the valve stems overnight and getting burnt off when you start her up.

What's your mileage?

Steam dissipates.

Smoke persists.

Oil smoke is usually blue.

Bad mixture is black.

Spark plugs tell all!
