ok so i had a bad exhaust valve seal, it was spitting oil out the tail pipe. i rebuild the engine, new rings, new gaskets and new seals. now that i have it running it starts smoking out of the same side, but after maybe 5mins of it running. it is not nearly as bad as it was before but its def blue smoke. now what i am thinking is it is just residual oil in the exhuast pipe that has not yet burned off. but im looking for some more opinion.

also, the bike is not on the road yet so its not like the engine has been ran very much.
