It was the shock.  It blew out and the oil was burning off on the exhaust.

Yea I was sitting right where he came in. The only rear suspension he has was the spring and it was bad bouncy.

Blew the shock on my 08' crf450 and thought my bike was going to catch fire. It didn't , but it sure did smoke a lot. That oil on the exhaust can smoke like a MF'er.

Man, that thing looks timed out…More wear than normal on the body and shock shaft, yeah?

 

Either way, it’s amazing the loads generated by top SX guys on hard parts like that.

Looks like the old JGR parts might be getting a little long in the tooth
