    Issues after previous owner dropped bike VIDEO

    I put some details in the description but I just picked
    this bike up from a guy that dropped it on its right side. I started it up and thick white smoke was coming out of the dropped side of the exhaust and leaking gas so I figured I'd clean the carbs , no more leaking but still the same same problem with smoking , also the two exhaust pipes on that side I are insanely hot and discoloring the Chrome

    I wouldn't worry about the white smoke, a bit of riding should clear that up

    Are the pipes getting hot a new thing? Probably an air leak

      When you cleaned the carbs did you re-sync them and do the valve adjustment?

        Looks more like burning oil than unburned gas, ride it a bit and see if it clears up
