If the smoke doesn't smell of two-stroke it points to the drive side oil going.

Thanks,you've confirmed my suspicions as the engine is burning gear oil.

If you strip it down to change the oil seal check the plate it sits in , Indian GP's used an alloy plate which warps , better off searching for a steel plate ( or bearing flange as they are called on Scoot Resto site ) :)

I find that the best plates are the metal ones from MB.
