Blue Smoke

[liggyh]

I was out for a ride yesterday on my 2012 Rocket 3 Tourer which has only 9000 miles on it and my buddy riding behind me says when I cranked the throttle to get to highway speed quickly on the highway on ramp he saw a puff of blue smoke coming from my exhaust. Anyone know why that would happen?

Long ago, that was a sign that a car was burning oil. With modern bikes, who knows?

Don't worry about it, if your buddy had a faster bike nobody would have seen the blue smoke. Lol

If it's just a puff when you first crack it open, I wouldn't worry, if it's constant when on the gas, then start worrying.
