I have a 97 yz 125 theres lots of white smoke comeing out of pipe and it fouled one plug and some oil is comeing out of the pipe where silencer joins pipe . I am running yamha lube 2 r with a 32 to 1 ratio on the oil mix is it normal for the yz to smoke this much ? can I ride the bike in this condition? I know the air filter needs to be changed . any ansers would be great

all so my gear shift lever strips a lot and the spline is worn down would JB weld work to keep the gear shifter tight on the spine??

Thank you

How much was it smoking previously? Too much smoke (oil) is a whole lot better than not enough smoke (oil). If you are mixing the oil and gas then cut back on the mixture. Obviously it is out of balance. Put 1/2 gallon of raw gas in the tank to cut the mix. After a tank or so you should get the balance back.

You need a new shift shaft and probably need a new shift lever due to the bad splines. You can try the JB Weld but I suggest that you go ahead and drill the lever an shaft then put in a cold roll split pin from the hardware store. You have nothing to loose since the shaft and the lever are already toast.

My 97 honda accord is blowing white smoke and running rough then i went to start it now it wont start

Sounds like either a blown motor (rings need replaced) or a bad head gasket or cracked head.
If the rings are bad your car would have felt like it was losing power because the engine will no longer have the same high compression that it's required to turn the wheels. You may have heard your engine knocking or seen a light blue colored smoke coming from your exhaust as a result of your engine burning up oil in the combustion chamber from the rings leaking.
If your head gasket is leaking or your head is cracked you'd likely find milky looking oil when you drain your oil from water/antifreeze being mixed in and noticed a white smoke coming from your exhaust that is actually water vapor coming through the exhaust.
If your car was running rough when you last shut it off try pulling all of your spark plugs and either cleaning them or replacing them all. A bad head gasket or bad rings can both foul spark plugs. A car will run rough with 1 or 2 fouled plugs, but once enough foul it will no longer run at all just sit and crank over. If changing the plugs get's it started for ya, check your tailpipe first for water, if nothing, change your oil. If no signs of water/antifreeze or milky colored oil then it's probably rings.

Tons of smoke coming out of exhaust

A bad crank seal on the right side, if bad, will **** transmission oil into the combustion chamber. This will smoke badly.

What spark plug should i run in my 2003 YZ 125?

Run a B9ES if you don't have a problem with fouling. If you do have a problem fouling, run a B8ES. Both of these plugs are available at auto parts stores for a few bucks each.

The stock plug was a BR9** - the R indicates a resistor plug which is not needed.

Will main clutch casing fit yz 125 2001 from 1997?

Hey Ryan! Long time since hearing from you.

When you say "main clutch casing" do you mean the right side cover for the gearbox or do you mean the primary driven gear (AKA "clutch basket") that the clutch boss (AKA "clutch hub") and all the clutch plates fit into?

If you mean the right outer casing > they are slightly different, '97 pn 4JY-15431-10-00 and 2001 pn 4JY-15431-12-00. The entire clutch is the same from 1997 through 2001.
