The K100 has been laid up for about 10 years , before that all was well , it only had the centre stand fitted .
I have now fitted a side stand , I started the engine from when it was on the Centre stand , no smoke .
Left the bike on the Side stand for about 4 hours , started it again , and smoke is coming out the exhuast , and a few drops of oil from the exhuast joint .
Plus I did notice a small amount of cream coloured cream around the oil filler hole , so I took the sump off , and had a look , cream was just by the filler hole , rest of the sump was very clean , did a oil and filter change , no cream or grey in the oil ,
Have only started the engine a few times , and noticed the cream is back by the oil filler hole !
Engine has about 56k miles on it .
Is the cream normal , I am thinking condensation , I had a Opel manta that did the same .
Or could it be a head gasket , and that's why oil is getting in the Exhuast ??
