I recently posted a thread about rough idle called whistle and choked rev at idle if that gives you any more info than this.
yesterday I got up in the morning to ride it was about 50 deg and foggy. after about five miles I stopped to get someone and ten minutes later when I started the bike back up there was white exhaust, it didn't smell normal possibly smelled like coolant burning off.
rode another five miles and the exhaust was back to normal so I thought It might have just been steam I was seeing, but the smell didn't go away and several people around said the bike smelled "hot" even though the temperature gauge was saying the temp was fine.
then five miles later I stopped again and the white exhaust was back, the day before I topped the coolant overflow tank off to the "full" mark but I think if the coolant is too full it will purge out a hose.
today I turned it on the coolant was where I filled it too before but after 20 minutes the coolant purged twice in about 5 minutes and now is down to the lower mark. and the bike smells hot again. I checked the oil while the engine was hot and it wasn't frothy or anything weird, but it might be a little overfull.
I hope the white exhaust was steam and not a head gasket problem, any Ideas what the H*** is going on?
