bike smokes?

[blue massacre]

ok so i have a bunch of atv's and dirtbikes, that are all fourstrokes and i have one blaster, that has nevere had a problem exept a new topend. my question is i found a blaster on craigslist for 600 dollars it is a 1998, new topend, fatty pipe/scilencer. and he islooking for a quick sale however says it smokes, he says it needs a carb cleaning but i thought more along the lines of a ring job. what do you guys think and how much would it cost, and would it be worth to buy fix, and sell for profit?

ask him what color the smoke is if its blue smoke then thats normal its a 2STROKE lol if its white smoke then it is a bad crank seal easy fix.
i hope this helps

lol thats what they do. especially if the injection system is still on it, cause it injects something like a 24:1 ratio.

i don't see how bad rings on a 2 stroke would make it smoke more. on a 4 stroke, sure, there is oil below the piston that could easily sneak past bad rings into the combustion chamber and get burnt, but in a 2 stroke, the only oil in the crankcase is what you mix in the gas, which gets burnt whether you have good rings or not....

But the compression isn't as high, so it will leak out the exhaust.

bad rings on a 2 stroke = poor running and low power,

note... im not a ahole, i dont screw ppl over on stuff... just stating that if there selling a 2 stroke quad/ bike/ whatever and think something is wrong cuz it smokes, its there own fault and shouldnt have it! since as soon as that oil tank runs drive that motor is toast!
