Wondering if it is normal to be seeing "smoke" coming from the exhaust after the sled has reached normal operating temperature? I switched sleds with my buddy and was riding behind mine for the first time... I was really surprised by how much exhaust "smoke" was coming out of the exhaust while we were doing some trail riding. The "smoke" isn't black or gray, so I don't think it is burning oil... it looks more like what comes out of the exhaust pipe of a car while warming up. It smokes at idle and then really puts out a cloud when you hit the throttle. Just concerned that something isn't right...

Dark or blue smoke would be a concern. Did you notice any foul odor from the smoke?
They all smoke/steam from the exhaust. It varies with temp and humidity.

It isn't blue or black and no strange odor... just smells like exhaust. Thanks for putting me a ease!
