HOLY CRAP that took me way to long....
Anyways, its back together with a decent but cheap paint job (read: fancy primer) and runs. However, and maybe you guys can help me out here, after running for a minute or two (temperature doesn't seem to matter cause it did it cold and warm) it starts to smoke a bit out of the air intake tubes (its like a gray smoke) and has a semi strong burning smell.
Now, what I'm wondering, is this related to the fact that the bike really hasnt been run in about 6 months (since I wrecked it) and has been just sitting. I dont think its bad gas as any gas has been worked through it (you can see the gas can I filled up not 10 minutes before I took the picture).
Any ideas? I'd just run the thing for a while to see if whatever it is works its way out, but I"m fearful that I'll wind up breaking something and having to spend MORE to get it back running.
Also, a big thanks to Beotch for the turn signals (I know they arent on in the picture, I'm waiting till the bike is running right before I button it all up)
