Black smoke from the pipes when gunning it

[matrix69]

Hi I have 06 vmax with 5600km it has a little bit of black smoke coming out of the pipes when I gun it and I was just wondering if that is a bad thing or what could be causing the black smoke ? Second Question When I take off very fast my oil light come on is that normal for the vmax my RPM are around 8000-9000 if I throttle back the oil light goes off...

Totally normal!

It's OK when black... (rich) It's the blueish color smoke you need to worry about!

Mine smokes also if I take off hard but the smoke is white :ummm: and smells funny
