Tbh I'm a bit puzzled by the bike. There is a stong smell on start up but no blue smoke .There is some smell on moving off from idle when warm but no smoke. There are no signs of smoke when rolling off the throttle , which I think would be a typical valve guide/seal symptom. I haven't had the bike long enough to be sure but my current estimate is that it's doing about 500 miles per litre. This is a bike that was very well looked after by the previous owner who had it for 15 years , used it moderately and did annual oil changes with decent oil. It has done 17k miles.
Next step is to do a compression test , which may take a while as I don't currently have a tester. Maybe Santa will come good.
