So, my buddy and I started the bike up with not too much effort and now have a bit of an issue. It will start up but then the right exhaust pipe starts to smoke about 5" from the engine. The pipes are wrapped if that makes a difference. We took the temperature of both pipes and the right side was was about 120 degrees hotter. It's only run for like 30 seconds before shutting it off. Even at such a short time it gets smokey.
This is the first time I've started an engine so not quite sure what to expect. Could it be as simple as a bit of oil dripped onto the wrapping? I feel like because it's so much hotter there is a separate issue. The spark plugs look fine after taking them out.
I can provide more info about the build if it could help.
