Welcome to the forum.
Ks like to smoke, it clears the head. but firing up in a shed once a week is not good and on its own not to be taken as an indication of trouble. We can all make a K smoke on start up big time by parking on side stand with the engine running. If you are not losing coolant and and not losing oil then you may be in better shape. Easy to get condensation inside the engine, it will give you smoke. So too will messed up plugs and a few more things. If the K is running well and this is new, your process of firing up and leaving it running could also be a cause of the problem as the rest of the engine is not heating up properly. a good run with some injector cleaner may not be a bad thing.
