Started the bike from leaving college and alot of dark smelly smoke pumped out from the exhaust  I haven't seen this before I know my bike has been using oil lately, so i guess my piston rings are seriously worn/wearing out Just hope it lasts me until i can drive  |

Uh oh.
The first 80cc head that I had would burn oil. The valve guide was cracked and would let oil into the combustion chamber. I took the valve apart the other day and the guide was pretty much split in half. You can hope it's the piston rings, but I'm afraid both rings and heads are hard to come by for 80cc.

Luckily there isn't any performance loss! If i keep topping the oil up every week or two i dont think there should be any probs, right? Only needs to keep running for about another 4 months

What are you doing in 4 months? You better not be getting rid of your scoot!
If it's not hurting performance it might not be that bad, but burnt oil will get stuck on your head, piston and will clog up your exhaust pipe. If you don't mind the smell it aint that bad. I rode mine about 1000kms burning oil.

Hey Colin,
Just reading your signature on your postings, you mention a custom license plate. Are you refering to the one in your pic, the one with your name on?
If you are, I also got one of those, I got it while I was on holiday in Orlando! Mine Says BILLY. and it's a Florida plate.
