Zitat von spainy im Beitrag #15 Plugs are a simple part and modern ignition systems are high energy. For the plugs to be the problem there would need to be a break in the electrode or insulation.

Zitat von spainy im Beitrag #18 Either they work or you will have a complete failure meaning the engine will be firing on one cylinder only although such failure might be intermittent. Had that happen a couple of times on my Deauville 700. And, to go back to the previous post, if parked on the side stand oil can accumulate in the lower cylinder leading to burning off of the oil and cloud of smoke on fire up. The higher the mileage the more oil can accumulate. Try parking/storing on the centre stand. It may cure the problem.

Zitat von spainy im Beitrag #18 I'd be surprised if it was a sparkplug issue. If you're not sure about the bike's service history, you might be better advised to get a full service at a BMW dealer. They will do diagnostics etc. |

Zitat von spainy im Beitrag #15 I can't give you a definitive expalantion but it sounds to me like a fueling issue and not spark plug related. If it were spark plug related I would expect it to manifest itself at other times and not just at start up. |

Zitat von Ray im Beitrag #24Zitat von spainy im Beitrag #15 indeed - if the bike has been neglected or subject to basic DIY servicing the item that is most likely skipped is the air filter - if this is partially clogged you might get some smoke on startup until the engine is sucking at a decent pressure, but, as others state, most likely just the side stand thing, especially as spainy is saying the ambinet temperature is high so the oil is going to be thin on startup, so more will slip past the piston rings until the engine is hot. |
