I have a 1992 zx-7 Recently when i start the bike up first thing in the morning, my bike is pushing white smoke out the exhaust, it only does it until the bike warms up. amy help will be great thanks

Is there a 'sweet' odor when the smoke is present? I can't think of anything that should cause white smoke other than cold air temperature..not likely in Florida...or coolant being burned in a combustion chamber[s]

Does the bike run smoothly while it's smoking, or is a noticable misfire or stumble present?

The bike runs smooth while it is smoking, and im not sure of the smell of the smoke. Once the bike warms up the smoke is gone. thanks for you help

It's probably just condensation caused by high humidity then.. Nothing to worry about. By the way, where in Florida are you?

I'd have though that its condensation too.

Almost every thing i kno does that. especially in the morning when everything is still cool. Nothing to worry about. It's only during the warm up stage. If its warm outside like say mid day or so, then you wont really see much when you start it up. Its mostly when its cool outside, especially during the winter time.

If you want, buy this LED exhaust tip, its awesome and if you get red, it makes it look like you have fire coming out of ur can during the warm up stage. It'll only fit a pipe up to 2.25in in diameter though.

Its a small exhaust tip that fits in ur pipe. It has LED's in there to light up the inside. It looks really cool when all that white smoke is lit up.

Kinda off topic isn't it

Do they do them in Lime Green

And, for those interested in extreme performance, I'll bet it really helps exhaust flow too, right Short Circuit ?

If they can't manage actually making it fast, the next best thing is to make it look like it's fast

Kinda like Hardley-Ableson customs/choppers..
