This may not be the proper place for this question, but I need to ask it.
I've got a 2008 ST1300 with just over 22k on it, I've only put about 1100 miles on it.
This morning I started it in the garage and rolled it outside. When I went to get on it there was smoke coming up through the fairing on the right side and from the bottom area of the bike. I've never had this happen before. I shut it down and put it back in the garage. One thing different is that it's been on the side stand for several days. I have a friend that used to have a BMW that would smoke after being on the side stand for an extended period of time, but I think that was out through the exhaust.
Is this something that happens with these bikes after being on the side stand? I almost always park on the center stand.
Is there something specific I should look for.
Thanks
