It's only done 17000 and has just been serviced .don't think they balanced the carbs. Perhaps I should get it done anyway.uts not running bad just for my own peace of mind.

Re: firestorm smokes from left exhaust

It's not blue smoke
Only when it's cold outside I'm not worried about it just seemed weird that only one exhaust smoked
Bike has only done 13000
Cheers guys

Re: firestorm smokes from left exhaust

I normally start up while I'm putting my crash helmet and gloves on then just take it easy until it is showing warm on the temp gauge
