I'll start the bike and let it idle for a few mins to warm up. I'll usually blip the throttle a few times once it's above 120 degrees and notice a bit of white smoke out the tail pipe. I thought it was just from running rich but thought that is usually black smoke? I haven't noticed the oil level drop. It only happens after start up that I know of, once riding and warm it doesn't do it.

Bike has 18 hours on it. Changed the oil at 3 and 9 hours. Will check the valves just after 20h - still starts right up. I kept it under low rpm under the 3 hours, and under 75% power before 12 hours for the break in. At the same time, I didn't "baby" it for it's break in, just rode it normal.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I should also add that the oil level is not above the upper hash mark on the sight glass. I have not noticed my coolant level drop either.

Not unusual after idling from cold long as it goes away.

After talking with my dealer, they recommended letting it idle for 30 secs to a minute then hop on and ride around easy to warm it up (just like we do with our cars & trucks we drive). I don't see any smoke so, so i'll keep warming the bike up this way.

I did top off some motor oil so I'm assuming it was burning oil. Does anyone have a reason while it would do this warming up idling rather than under a small load riding around?
