Blue smoke? Isn't that indicate oil being burnt?

This has to do with how the engine was broken in, how many miles is on the engine, valve guide seals, and who knows what else !!!

Stop being concerned and go ride and enjoy !!!

Don't rev the bike before it's warmed : ). It's an air-cooled V-Twin. Let it warm up. That said... Yeah, Lafeyette is correct.

He still can't figure out how to adjust a primary chain to save his life though... J/K : ).

Don:

When you pull the PRIMARY COVER off and find the chain has worn excessively into
the primary chain tension shoe, only then will you understand what "i" am trying to tell you ???
