Help me with these symptoms.........

[rockbobmel]

Had a crash a week ago.
My bike starts and runs fine except- when I give it a little gas it starts to smoke out of the front cylinder.
I thought is was residual oil burning off, but when I let it cool a little and restarted, it was ok until I revved it and then the smoke came back.
I could also see a little seeping from the front pipe joint (which I just re-installed with a new crush gasket). Engine oil is Ok.

Thanks Much, Bob

That looks like an impact mark down by the crash bars, take the pipe off again and closely examine the flange area it may have a crack..

Yes...just think as the smoke seems to be coming from there, if it is cracked are warped that would be a good place to look.
