white smoke from Header after service

[Simba76]

I had a full service done on my SV650 and they found no issues with the engine itself.
They Changed all fluids and said the oil and coolant was long overdue a change.

After a week of riding, approx 200 miles I noticed after a 30 minute trip back from work that there was white smoke coming from the exhaust connection to the engine. The header I think(?).

There is a smell of burning as well.
I have no temp gauge.
I've checked the coolant and its still completely full so no leak there.

Could it be residue from the fluid changes?
I haven't noticed a drop in power significantly either.

Would forget about that and change the front...possibly rear tyres at your earliest convenience.

I always get white smoke and oil burning smell from my bike after I've changed the oil,

This is because I've not worked out how to do it without spilling oil on the collector box (where my exhaust goes from 4 into 2) so as the exhaust heats up it burns the oil off.

Soapy water or engine degreaser, scrub down the engine and header, take it out for a thrash. If it does it again, then worry about it.

Also, needs a fender-extender. It looks like one has been on there, or at least started to fit it.

I'll give it a scrbb down and the take it for a blast.

The fender extender had some lovely screws in which still had sharp points in the end.
I'm filing them off before refitting.

The tyre looks properly squared off in the picture but its just the dirt from the journey. its only about 400 miles old.
