I just took my 05 suzuki out for a ride today. Went ahead and put a quart of oil in it. 10W40 is what she takes. After about 5 miles of driving down the road at 60mph I notice she feels like she starting to lose power. Another 5miles and she dies on me doing 55mph. The guy behind me pulls over and tells me that I just started smoking out the tail pipe real bad.

I try to start her back up and she sputters to a start tossing a lot of black and white smoke out the tail pipe. I ended up turning around and heading back home. This happened two more times before I finally got home. She rides strong doing anything less than 50mph. she has less than 2k miles on her and is an 05.

I am taking her in for her first tune up this Tuesday <yes I know I am late on that> Any ideas what is wrong with her?

  1. You may be over filling the oil and the oil is bypassing to your air filter.  I would do an oil change on it and making sure it is a proper oil level.
