I purchased a new 2016 RTW and it initially would smoke on start up when cold. The service manager asked if I was parking it on the side stand and I said I was and he recommended I park it on the center stand to see if that rectified the problem. He said oil can seep by the rings when parked, which is the same thing I was told 17 years ago when I had my 1999 R1200C. Well it still occasionally smokes on start up and the service manager has made note of it when I take it in for service and said we will watch it to see if it stops because it really isn't broken it yet. I have 14500 miles on it and now it occasionally smokes on warm start up after it has been parked on the side stand for a couple of hours. The oil level may drop ever so slightly in between oil changes, but I have never had to add oil. Inside the muffler looks nice and dry, no oily residue inside and no residue sputtering on the outside edge of the muffler either.
Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this?
Thank you
