White smoke from exhaust
Get it checked this weekLikely causes
- Condensation on a cold start (normal if it clears within a minute or two)
- Coolant leaking into the engine (liquid-cooled bikes): thick, sweet-smelling smoke that does not clear
- Oil reaching the combustion chamber (often looks bluish-white)
Check yourself first
- Watch whether the smoke stops once the engine is warm
- On liquid-cooled bikes, check the coolant level in the reservoir when cold
- Check the engine-oil level on the dipstick or sight glass
