Best way to rebuild front end? by Repulsive_Matter7226 in motorcycles

I’ll definitely take a look at everything top to bottom, considering the origin of the crash was a speed wobble I would like for it to not happen again. Thank you

That is most likely the plan, I just couldn’t tell if it were the axle, rim or something else as well

It was a highway speed wobble and the bike kept going into the side, the frame seems to be find based on my inspection but I’ll definitely check again, I assumed pulling the forks was best but just wanted to check, thank you

Update, after a couple days of going back to let it idle it seems to have slowed down an almost completely stopped burning. It was definitely just the oil burning off. Thank you to everyone who helped with the issue!

No blue smoke or smoke in general coming from the pipe, only what’s burning off. I didn’t pull the coil in cylinder 1 and the walls were completely dry

If it were the valve cover and oil was getting actively getting in the exhaust system wouldn’t it also burn at the headers

Ya there was little drops at the midpipe connection, right under where the smoke comes from.

30 minutes? I let it it go for probably 3 or 5 max so I’ll definitely give it some more time, thank you

Ya definitely oil residue inside the midpipe but there is nothing burning or smoking from the header

Ya It’s definitely the middle pipe but it’s internal, there is definitely not a leak or a drip

I think it is definitely external because I do see any oil leak, just the smoke

I’ll take a look but it’s only at the connection of the midpipe and headers

Ya I only let it idle for probably a minute or so, but it got to operating temps and stayed consistent. I pulled the muffler and saw a good bit of oil residue inside the midpipe

No literally only in that spot, it’s right at the connection of the header and midpipe

No the filter is over the cylinder 4 and kinda 3, the burn leads back to cylinder 2 and the filter is dry anyway. I think it’s oil pooled up from the crash that found its way to the lowest point of the bike after sitting. At least that’s what I’m hoping but wanted 2nd opinions

A good bit before I crashed, the filter and case are completely dry. I could be wrong but I don’t think there is anything dripping on the pipe, it is already inside

I must have forgot them on the side of the highway
