Since the engine is burning pre-mix oil we have to be careful here, because blueish-white smoke is a normal occurrence of two-stroke engine operation. However, excessive smoke after warm up can be an indicator of a couple problems.

Why does my 2 stroke smoke so much?

There are a few reasons a 2 stroke can smoke more than normal: The fuel mixture is too rich. The oil/fuel mixture is too heavy on oil. The power valve (if you have one) is dirty.

How do I know if my 2 stroke needs top end?

My Bike Is Super Easy To Kick Over

While most 2-strokes are easier to kick over than a four-stroke dirt bike, you shouldn't be able to push the kick-start lever down with one finger. If it kicks over with next to no resistance, the top-end is probably down on compression.
