When starting the bike up from cold- particularly if it hasnt been ran for several days/ a week it puffs out a lot of blue ish smoke from the exhaust which then eases off after 30 seconds to a minute. Just posing the question to see if theres anything I need to resolve/look at? Is there anything serious it could lead to etc? Thanks

Valve guide seal replacement usually sorts this issue in most engines. Oil seeps down from the head, into the cylinders.
