White smoke 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
Ok I have white smoke coming out of both of my pipes so Im waiting on a trailer. Bike is still running strong so I dont think I blew it up (had it blow some smoke yesterday out of the rear jug pipe) what could it be? Bikes been apart for a month and it has fresh gas and oil.

How much oil you put in it for the change?

Check air filter box for oil saturation.

Check the compression.

Didn't you say you were getting rained on yesterday? White smoke is common for water cooking off. Could you have gotten a puddle inside your mufflers
