Blue Smoke in traffic
Hi all,
I have an 07 Nightster that has a smoking problem.
If I sit idle in traffic for more than 2 minutes the bike gets super hot, and will start billowing blue smoke. It also makes an audible ticking sound when running.
I've had it to the HD dealership and they either couldn't reproduce it, or said it was nothing.
This doesn't seem normal to me. I have an RSD intake and tracker exhaust on it with a super tuner (all dealer installed).
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

In all seriousness, from what I understand about ALL internal combustion motors is, if there is blue smoke coming from your exhaust, you are probably burning some oil somewhere. I could totally be way off and wrong here..

Usually its either rings or valve stem seals...valve stem seal leak will smoke when you start it mostly and rings smoke more while its running...so without looking further into it I'd say get some new rings and replace the valve stem seals while your in there just in case because they're super cheap.

Blue smoke is not to be ignored. Go to a competent mechanic. 07....how many miles on the machine? How long after the dealer did this work did this start?
