    prolly not, that is the effect from it smoking. Check your cylinder, it is prolly worn. If you are this far, have it bored to the next size and install some fresh piston and rings. Before you bore it, check or have a machine shop check to see if it has been overbored already and what size piston you will need to order.

    That just means the compression rings are sealing but the oil ring is not.

    It really helps, and shows progression, if you create a single thread for your bike, and then later edit the title as needed.

    A cheaper option is to buy a pack of nicorette and put it in your gas tank... Might not stop it completely from smoking, but it certainly won't enjoy the smoking anymore.

    I had a 200m that smoked badly, but it still had very good compression. The problem I had was the rings were from a different cylinder and didn't seat right. The rings didn't wipe the oil off the cylinder wall as the piston went down. A new set of rings and honing might fix it, if the cylinder dosen't need to be bored oversized.
