800 etec smokes a lot ?

800PowerFanatic · Dec 15, 2013

We got my wife a 2011 summit with the 800 etec this summer and I finally got to give it a little run on the snow and I noticed it really seemed smokey is that normal ? I have a 800 etec xm and that doesn't seem to smoke at all.

They dont smoke much after break in. I wonder if they are using a different oil? The viscosity is important so it sees the correct amount of oil.
Any dealer can hook it up to BUDS to check the oil pump setting.
Did you get to put a few miles on it? If it was summerized it will smoke like crazy until it gets hot and burn out the added oil.

I don't know if it wa summerized and I don't think there is xps oil in it. But I will be running it. I guess we'll ride it some more and switch oil and go from there.

Thanks for your input.
