blue exhaust smoke is burning oil, its could be a simple fix if its bad valve seals, if its valve seals it will smoke as soon as you start it up, or smoke when you leave off the throttle when riding, if it smokes with a load on the engine, its rings. Its an easy fix either way, won't cost much as long as the cyls are ok. Take it to a Dealer, tell him to give you a quote what it will take to fix it, tell him to go over the whole bike to see if anything else is wrong, I mean you don't wanta spend money on a top end job if the rest of the engine is shot, like the gearbox and the clutch, if you do get a top end job, do good maintenance, change the oil the first 500 miles, then 2000 miles after that. If the bike is in good shape, ur better off and its cheaper to fix it, than buying a new bike, the newer bikes have problems too, you may buy a newer bike with more problems than you have now, I have seen that happen. Today I am seeing many guys that are not mechanically inclined owning bikes, bikes need maintained like crazy, I go over my 2 bikes once a week, I get anal, I check the electrical wiring connectors, nuts and bolts come loose, I tighten them up, and I always check the oil after the engine is warmed up, and many other things, bikes require a lot of maintenance.
