need help blue smoke
hears the story
took the ruck to the dealer for an oil leak whatever they did they fixed the leak
BUT. now if the truck is standing still and i floor it for a second i get a puff of black smoke normal and after the black smoke i get a puff of blue smoke as well this only happens if i punch the pedal and then let go. any thoughts
the delaer also did an oil change and put dye in this is when the problems started i think but they sya they put in the normal oil 15w/40
i also had a missing problem whihc was fixed by a new fuel filter the filter was completly normal with only a dirty color to it.
So i need help cause the dealer says its normal for blus smoke to puff out when you punch the gas pedal and then let go i dont remember it doing this

How long ago did the dealer put the dye in the oil? If this is still the same oil in the crankcase, I'd guess it might just be the dye. I don't think I'd worry about it quite yet. After your next oil change, I'd expect it to go away, though.

It seems we all get nervous and jerky after the scooter has been to the doctor. Just pay attention to the sounds of the engine and watch your oil consumption (if any) and you will be in good shape. Good luck and take pride in your ride.
