    Default RS-S smoky

    Hiya, when I haven't started my 2013 RS-S for a few days when it starts it blows a lot of smoke, is that normal?

    It only started doing it after the first service.

    NO, it is not normal, check the oil level and report back.

    There's nothing normal about that...
    Did you call the dealer that serviced it?

    Agree. A smoker indicates some kind of a problem. I would have that checked out.

    Default Depends..!

    if it is oil smoke then no not normal. If the weather has change and it is colder and we are talking vapor puffs it is normal. Have it checked by dealer you may have leaking valve seals or gasket leaks...

    Sorry about the delay, haven't been near it.
    Here's a video from yesterday.. Sorry about the quality.
    i spoke to the dealer today and he said it's normal and it needs to go out for a long ride.. I don't agree..

    Looks like oil smoke to me. does it smell like burning oil? (couldn't tell from the video) Is there slimey residue inside the tail pipes? If any of these symtoms exist, it ain't normal.

    Take it for a ride to the dealer. Let it sit for a couple hrs., and then have them check it. Whatever they find, have them put that on the work order. This way you can always have something to back you up, should something further happen, and you need to open a case with BRP for repairs.
