Re: VTR smoking when startup
Also I did a breakfast run yesterday, did about 200km and the temperature was stable. Did not have any issues and she pulled like crazy. All was perfect except for the smoke every time I started her up.

Re: VTR smoking when startup

Would it be advisable to change the oil ...
