just bought this ride, has been sitting for a couple years, and it still smokes white in color and some drops of an oil like substance are coming out the exhaust. Still has plenty of power. the guy i bought it from put some mixed gas in to get it running. What might the problem be and should i be conscerned? Thanks

Have you got a couple miles riding it yet? The pre-mix the past owner put in may be adding to smoke. Might need to run the tank out.

Also, after sitting for years, there can be some oil seepage through the injector pump into the crankcase. That should clear out in a few minutes of riding.
