Light Gray / White Smoke out of Exhaust

[.RJ]

the oil overfill is just where you put the oil into? I figured you were talking about some special little compartment that I never had to use before.

Could it be that the crankcase is overfilled with oil

I'll use smaller words...

Is there too much oil in the engine?

There's a window on the side of the motor, below and to the right of where you fill up the oil. Start the bike and let it warm up (if you start it and let it idle for 5 minutes that will do it). Then turn it off and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, and check the oil level - to do this the bike should be upright - NOT on the side stand - and the oil should come up about halfway into the little window. Either hold the bike up while you check or have someone sit on it.

Also, if a shop cleaned/tuned up the carbs over the winter, but then the bike sat for 2 months, you are right back where you started and they are clogged up agin.
