So white smoke comes out of O2 sensor after 2 minutes of idling. Bike is 2019 and has about 760 miles. What could be the issue here, team ninjette?

What could be the issue here, team ninjette? DannoXYZ September 13th, 2020, 06:54 PM Hi Duc & welcome to Ninjette! :wave: White smoke is usually coolant. Typically from cracked head or blown headgasket. Does it come out of body of O2-sensor? Or the threads? Or out end where wires are? Any white smoke out tailpipe? Does white smoke come out anywhere after bike’s fully warmed up (about 10-15 min)? Azn400 September 13th, 2020, 07:49 PM Hello, The smoke comes out where the crush washer meets the header. So I think it’s the thread. It will come out normally 1-2 minutes after starting up. The washer looks a little rusted. I’ll check the tail pipe tomorrow. DannoXYZ September 18th, 2020, 07:47 AM Azn400 Any more news on this smoking? Forgot to mention to check if O2-sensor is fully tightened. Might want to remove, replace crush-washer and re-install. Azn400 September 18th, 2020, 12:44 PM No white smokes from tail pipe. It could be sitting for a while and burned off the old gas. After refueling with no-ethanol gas, it runs fine. I still smell some smoke but not like before. You might be right about replacing the crush-washer. Thank you.
