  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

So I haven't even been able to take the new bike out yet, but I noticed as I was running it through heat cycles that at high rpm it was smoking a lot when I would let off.

There is no Black Spooge but wet grey stuff coming out.

Bike revs crisp, coolant level a little low but still above honey combs, plug a little wet but clean

Starts first kick.

Is this water in the exhaust?? Cranks seal???

I noticed it at dealer but mechanic said it had been sitting awhile and had old gas, but I have run that through






 
Better to bring it back to the dealer before voiding the warranty by cutting into it by yourself.

by answering your concern at the showroom floor the problem is already acknowledged.

The oil looks like a water oil mixture check the coolant levels if it is keeping its level.

also check the crankcase oil level if that keeping its level.

I would not ride it yet unless you have an answer from the dealer.

When I had coolant leak into my transmission oil it turned sort of that color. The giveaway is that you can smell the antifreeze. Does it smell at all like coolant? I don't think it would run very well if there were water in the bottom end and going into the cylinder. Pull the pipe off and see if its got water in it.
 
could be water going through top - head gasket - possibly incorrectly positioned - or pinched o- ring when someone did the 144 conversion
If water in pipe - pull head off and check and re-fit
 
Years ago I had a brand new WR250 that did the same as what you are showing and turned out to be a bad crank seal along with a bad head gasket. If it were me I would take the bike back ASAP and do not touch it. My son races a 2013 WR125 and never has it shown this condition even with old gas. Take it back and have the dealer make it right.
 
Had water leaks twice in my 144. One was a water pump seal the other a right side gasket, did a base gasket as well. The water pump is more common and you transmission oil will be that grey looking stuff on your hand. If its in the pipe that's top end, not much up top just two O ring gaskets and a cylinder base gasket. This could be as simple as water in the exhaust as that bike has been around for a few years. Some have had the cylinder crack but that's rare.

Your bike did not come stock as a 144 so someone went inside at some point. It also did not have a lectron as a dealer option and your lights are from a 250-300 that was the option that came with them. These thing are good upgrade options,just not stock.

Relax and go back to the dealer with the bike and ask them to make it right, before you go inside and look at it yourself. Then take it back home and grease it,honest.
