[QUOTE="KennyNUT, post: 57324, member: 3057"] Hey Chris, I guess when the bike was new to me I did notice some smoke on start up, but that was not every time, so I stopped looking! To be fair I was not very good at the start procedure as I was a complete rookie. :rolleyes: So with practise, I learned how it likes to start. I don't worry about start up now. :) What prompted me to start this entire thread was the amount of smoke after a 10 miles outward journey with the final stretch a long down hill, followed by a short pull on the throttle to cross the bridge into Morpeth. When I parked up at the Chantry my mate pointed to the exhaust. It was choking with smoke! :eek: 20 minutes later on start up no smoke!o_O This was on the back of some overrun smoking on a different run pointed out by my other friend, a fellow Vincent owner. I now have a small project with the support of Simon Linford and after Springtime, when I travel a lot with my work, I should have some Summertime to look forward to. And many smoke-free miles, hopefully. :cool: Everyone has a story to tell on what spares they carry. It reveals what a diverse bunch of Vincent-loving custodians we all are! Have fun. Cheers, K.
