    if it stops soon after firing up dont worry about it. one of the byproducts of combustion is water so you will get a bit of moisture in the exhaust system. any moisture will be more obvious on a cold morning too.

    if the smoke is blue it could be oil leakage into the bores from worn stem seals though
