smoking exhaust ?
 
My left hand exhaust seems to have whisps of light grey smoke

2002 748s 5500 miles

I've read a thread here before that covered this in detail, can someone please remind me.

Thanks

Mine does it as well, if memory serves me:o it is to do with the different lengths of the exhaust system??

is this once the bike has warmed up or just after start-up (and for about 10 mins)?

If it's on start-up, most 748-996 do this. Something to do with the oil taking longer to get to the rear cylinder. Hence all the advice to warm-up before moving off.

If all the time then could be something else. Mine does this on start-up but both pipes run clean after 10 mins or so.

... and maybe also condensation in one pipe rather than the other. I have noticed it more on cold mornings.
