Usually there is a coating on the inside of the pipes and it needs to burn off. Maybe 30 minutes.

Re:White smoke 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
now you got me! Pull the plugs and see how they look. Have you put your hand close to the exhaust and see if they feel the same. How does it sound and run?

Maybe too late now there is oil all over the what I believe is the top of the trans cover, the big chrome cover on the right side near the back of the bike.
I have a video uploading to YouTube of it as I type.

Have you removed the seat and checked the dipstick to make sure it was tightened after the oil change?

Yep its tight and no oil is coming from it.
If its blown do I need a whole motor or can I go big bore? No rods are knocking and it still runs like a raped ape but oil is everywhere.
Once its cool I'm going to check the pcv and make sure its not clogged.
