Smoky startup
09/01/18 at 18:34:25

My driveway is short and steep right up to the garage door. The other day in order to not fill the garage with exhaust fumes I coasted the bike down to the road and started up there . Clouds of what I presume to be oil smoke
came out for first minute or so .
Never done this before [never coasted down the driveway before]
I can only think that oil spilled over the exhaust valve stems from the cam bath?
The valve guides are that slack? Only done 3500 km.

Are the temperatures beginning to cool off in your area? In cooler temps the bike emits a bit of moisture from the exhaust until things war up.....water vapor is a byproduct of combustion.
