Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hi this is just a quick 1 im fairly new to the biking world ive had my xj600n a little while now but I have noticed that im getting black smoke from exhaust and when I put my hand behind it there is a lot of soot is there a way to clean the exhaust (inside and out)?

Tango Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Sounds like it's running a bit rich.......what's the air filter like?.... Quote
Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I havnt taken that bit apart yet I know the oil filter needs replacing and the shims need a little trim Quote
Tango Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Could be that your air filter is clogged....causing the bike to run rich........also make sure your choke is turning off fully..... Quote
Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 the choke is off completely last time I checked the air filter it was ok that was about 4 months ago and its been stood for 3 months.there is a lot of soot around the exhaust hole (for lack of better word) Quote
Tango Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Ok.......could be just condensation in the exhaust picking up some carbon in there.......a good run would probably clear it...... Quote
Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I got some advice off my sister as well she says to put an additive in the fuel which should help clean it and she said to check air filter same as you. Quote
