Excessive steam/smoke?
« on: 27 November 2013, 13:24:14 »
Just notice when in traffic today the amount of steam/smoke coming from rear. I know that I get some but today just seams worse. It is coldish down here. I have posted link to a video

It is slightly rough on start up like it's slightly misfiring until I rev it and it's fine. Not losing any water as far as I know. Any advice greatly recieved cheers Ian
