First start up after winter

[aidangallacher1993@gmail.]

Started bike up first start after winter, fresh fuel and charged battery...started fine. Exhaust pipe caught my attention with some smoke, but before winter I applied a spray to keep it from rusting, sprayed in on exhaust, engine casing etc. can anyone put my mind to ease that this is normal and it's just the anti rust spray I used burning off?
The spray I used is Jenolite waxoil spray, rust preventer, for cars, motorbikes etc.
Can't upload the video but SM le wasn't too much just enough to make me curious

Yes, it'll be the rust preventative burning off. There could well be some condensation burning off too, depending on how dry the storage place is.

Cheers mate,
So albeit... nothing to worry about?
Will burn off on its own time, good to drive?

You can wipe the headers down with some kerosene or mineral spirits to remove traces of the spray. The headers are stainless steel and the engine is aluminum alloy so they won't rust anyway. The frame is steel.

Thanks mate, bike needs a wash down anyway so reckon I'll wipe the excess rust preventer spray off with spirits and give a good clean then hit the road...
