Does it have a sweet smell to it?

Are the pipes all hot, or is one cold?

well, i started it up after being cold(about 5degrees outside and it hadn't been ridden in over 2 hours) andit spewed out more smoke than usual,i let it warm and it still did the same, i was in the exact middle of nowhere and had no cell so i just hopped on and figured that if i could get as far as possible, that would be the best, i was in such a rush i didnt even think of feeling all the pipes, i figured later that one could have just been not heating but i didnt want to stop, as i was going it still was kicking out smoke even after about a half an hour of riding. i took a road back to my truck and loaded it up and just left, havent had time to look at it yet.

And yeah, i think i noticed that the smoke did smell a little differnt but i didnt think anything of it. it does suggest 91 grade gas but i ran 89 through it with dominator Amsoil
