Sorry to post this guys i'm just a little concerned. I know this has been an on going subject. If it's going to be an oil burner i'm going to get rid of it now.
No residue and oil level is still perfect.you've heard it right. any oil residue on the tip of the pipe .. /?
This "dot" you are talking about is only there because of the clutch update.My 08 Blade was burning oil. I sued Honda and won. I got my money back and then I bought a brand new "Revised" 08 Blade. How do I know if it's revised? Honda put a dot under the last digit of bike's serial number (Look behind the forks on the chassis) which means some parts has changed in the engine block. Honda claims I won't have the problem but I have 1000km on the taco and the exhaust tip got already black (Which I had on my 08). I will wait and see. If same thing happens again I will sue once more :stirpot:
I agree.. The moisture from the exhaust will spray black all over the tip. I was just wondering about the puff of black smoke.Black soot around the exhaust tip doesn't mean its burning oil, it doesn't mean the engine is running bad, it doesn't really mean very much at all.
My 600RR has quite a black exhaust tip and she doesn't consume a drop, runs strong as an oxe. Stock fuel injection, stock exhaust.

I love it when people make comments like this on the internet! :thefinger:u sure its the bike not u!!
That's all I was concerned about. All the stories make ya paranoid. I've only owned Honda bikes since I was 16 so I didn't want to switch brands. All my race quads have been Yamaha but I've always liked the Honda bikes.My bike did the same thing last week when I reved it up at a stop sign. I also have about 400 miles and it was 60 degrees that day. I have little black dots of soot on my exhaust, but I dont think its burning any oil. As of right now I hope I dont have anything to worry about- Im just concerned with all of the horror storys about burning oil.
At the factory or the dealer punches a dot after doing the update?This "dot" you are talking about is only there because of the clutch update.
That's what I heard...
