I have a 2008 ZX 6R I know about the kawi tick and this is not that but all of a sudden I lost power and heard a loud ticking sound coming from my motor as well as a bluish white smoke coming from underneath my gas tank am I gonna need a new motor or is it something internal? What could it be?

Change the oil and look for debris. Drain the coolant and look for contamination. Do a compression check.

After that , you can decide what to do.

When these things let go and you can hear tapping or knocking going from a spun bearing to a broken rod is a very small moment in time
