Engine smoke

[stick]

Morning , anyone had the same .
I don't use the centre stand on my 2015 GS TE (June) and as a result it now after , say , 10 days on start up it smokes like a bugger .
Mileage 4350 .
Have also tried it on the centre stand for the same time and it still smokes on start up , not as much but still does it.
Any thoughts , I will try to upload a video.
My friend has a 2013 GS which has been on its side stand since September and it didn't smoke on start up.

Thanks in advance

I had to top the oil on my July 15 GS TE recently on 3.5K miles, never had to put a drop in my 13 GS TE. I will keep an eye out for smoke!

Ran it in the same as the previous bike so am a bit surprised?

White smoke? If so it's most likely condesation

Started my 06/2014 GSA after three weeks in the garage yesterday and found myself in thick fog ! It's normal and I am sure it's no oil. Condensation is the right answer. My 2013 GS had the same effect. I checked the oil > no issues! Just don't forget to take the gas mask off when you start riding

I had the same today after not using the bike for a month or so.... Gave it a blast around Dartmoor and it soon clears

Pretty sure this is normal for a flat engine like this. I used to have a 911 that was exactly the same the oil flows into the cylinder heads.

My TE does it too if left for a week or so.
