What happened to the bike?
It’s burning something that releases white smoke.
It isn’t leaking anything

Rings possibly, but I think oil burns blue. Internal seal on a gasket between the head and the block is my guess. A bit of coolant perhaps?

White smoke? Coolant. So a head gasket.

White smoke usually means head gasket. What does the smoke smell like? Coolant has kind of a sweet smell to it. Burning oil usually makes blue smoke.

White smoke is coolant.

I think it’s that. But not knowing what it was I ferried the cycle back home... excruciatingly slow.
A cop made fun of me and all

Seems to be the consensus... does it matter if the fuel tank was low?

Fuck it might well be a fucking gasket.

It has a distinc smell, I couldn’t quite pair it to something else though.
It smells like it has a high pH if that makes any sense

It can, maybe? Sometimes there can be a bunch of crap at the bottom of a fuel tank that when run through the engine can cause poor running and white smoke.
But if you normally run it that low, then I would probably go with coolant as well.

I think your bike just selected the new Pope. Congratulations!

I checked the coolant level... its low.

It’s pretty much dead. Time to go to your local dealership and trade it in on a new leader bike.

Like ammonia? My car smells like that when the coolant evap housing breaks and leaks coolant steam.

I guess it does smell a bit like ammonia... But there's no leak streaks on the block, and the coolant level has gone so low....

I must add that the the white smoke came from the front end of the motorcycle, near the handlebars.

Done an oil change to check for chocolate milk recently?
