Thanks for your input all. I may have confused matters by stating it was white smoke then putting a link to a thread about blue smoke........sorry! 🙂 It was definitely white smoke upon start up, from either hot or cold. Yesterday I carried out an oil and filter change (I had 5w30 in there and have gone back to 10w40) and it's stopped! So weird! could the different grade oil have caused the issue?

Been getting a puff of white smoke on start up but with barely any oil usage. I read this thread, where some with the same symptoms have found it to be either o'rings on the back valve cover or the two o-ring seals on the head covers for the PAIR valve air joints. Does anyone know the part numbers for both sets of o'rings? I live in Spain now and trying to explain to the local dealer in my hick town will not be easy so would rather go in with the numbers. TIA

Sorry for not having come back on this before, moved to Spain and it's a bit hectic, but sunny! 😎 Turns out the fault is related to the battery (don't ask me why or how), new battery, no more issues 🤨 Thanks for the suggestions guys 👍

I'm hoping someone can help. I wheeled my bike backwards with the ignition on but the engine not running. The traction control and engine management lights are now both on all the time. I've disconnected the battery, run it for about 100 miles and turned the ignition on and off a number of times, all to no avail. Any ideas on how I reset the TC or sort this out without a visit to the local stealer?

@Coxylaad update please! 😊

Anyone please have a set of Helibars, Variobars or Convertibars to fit my manual VFR1200f, they are willing to sell?

Just started looking at these but there doesn't seem to be a dealer in UK 😒

Just had a reply from Moto cnc, they will not make these risers for the 1200 😞 anyone found any others?

I've emailed them to see if they do/will do them for the 1200. I too don't want to wreck the heated grips, I believe that you can get away with a 30mm riser without affecting the cables........hopefully we'll see!

So weird, showing up fine on mine. Here's a link https://moto-cnc.com/honda-bar-risers-blackbird-cbr1100xx-96-08

Can you see the pic?

Anybody know where I can get this type of bar riser?

Thanks for the info, will check on the recall especially. It's a manual and comes with the luggage and heated grips. it's coming via a dealer who will be doing the valve check service before it comes to me (I will be buying it remotely tho so won't actually see the bike in the flesh until it's delivered (might be mad!). They seem to be pretty up front and have sent photos of two little scuffs that, they say, is the only damage.

Hi All, I'm about to pull the trigger on an 2013 1200 in black with 18k miles on the clock, is there anything that I should be looking for aside from the usual service history etc? Also, will I need to reflash the ecu to get it running properly low down/derestrict or would this have already been sorted in this year model? Apologies if these are annoying newbie questions!
