White Smoke from exhaust- cold morning?

Post by arkell »

Just went out to start the zxr, and noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust. I swear itwasnt doing it couple of weeks ago when i last took it out. Is this just becuase of the cold? Or is it something else? Ive had the headgasket done about a month ago so wont be that...

any ideas or am i just paranoid!?

only way to tell is wheel the bike into your lounge next to a nice big radiator

then fire it up in the lounge the next morning! :pmsl

Its the cold mate. You can tell when you're bike is cold as it smokes like you say. Just abit of condensation.
