Just when I thought I was done... smokin'

[Greggy]

1.5 years in the making. Got it insured today, starts and runs great. Went for about a 30 minute ride and when I got back home she started smoking from the left side. Smoke looks pretty much white, doesn't really smell like anything. Oil has been changed, No flat spots or exhaust leaks that I could tell. New gaskets on the exhaust.

Here is a photo and a video of the smoke. ( Sorry, its kinda hard to tell but it looks like it coming from above the cam/valve cover.

Thanks Spectra, no oil leak that I can see or find?

Wow that is a odd one then.......wonder if it is some sort of blow by ? I am nit really familiar with those DOHC bikes. I have one but havent really dove into it yet.

One thing I thought about was maybe there is a bit of water in the engine burning off. It had been sitting for a few years before I installed it. Guess I will check the color of my oil?
