·Just bought an 01 Foreman from a dealer (my first machine). Took it out for the first ride yesterday and the thing blows so much blue smoke I can't see or breathe! Power output seems good. Climbs without hesitation, purrs like a kitten at idle but smokes under load. I made a personal pact that I would do all mechanical work myself because I'm eager to learn but I think this fix could be a little more than I can chew so early in the game. I contacted the dealer I bought it from and he gave me the "buyer beware" lecture. Makes me mad but I guess he's right.
I assume I'm gonna need a top end rebuild. Or at least piston rings and/or valve stem guides/ seals. Can anyone give me a ballpark cost estimate. Also, should I consider having it bored out?
Greatly appreciated,
