Picked up a 2015 SSR 125 from marketplace.
Main concerns:
1. Starts up on 2-3 kicks on half choke but dies out. I cleaned carb and turned up idle screw. Struggles until it’s warm enough 1-2 mins of revs, once warm I can open choke and it idles good enough might stall occasionally.
2. Backfires occasionally after a hard rev and bogs occasionally when revved.
3. Leaks oil out of breather vent hose on back of engine. It’s only Filled half way on dip stick. So it’s not over filled. The hose was wedge in-between the frame and engine. I couldn’t unwedge it so I just cut it so it is free. I can blow air through the vent tube and it will come out of dipstick hole, so it’s not blocked or clogged. But still leaks mostly once the bike Is stopped after or while riding. Also once done riding or even idling for 3+ mins, If I open the dipstick, light white smoke slowly comes out. Not a lot of smoke just lightly oozes out not excess pressure either. I’ve been hearing maybe piston rings on the way out. Please leave your suggestions, much appreciated!!
