Is this normal?
It used to come out of my Cyclone's Force intake when I started it sometimes but never the breather filter.
And this was after a 20 minute ride.
BTW, it was coming out of the breather filter I installed on my 2005 cityx with the open airbox. (boy is the intake loud on that thing)

I guess it would depend on How Much smoke was there. Only a twenty minute ride may be the reason. Seems a little puff wouldn't be a whole lot to worry about, actually it sounds normal.
I know what you mean about the loud intake, try cutting holes in your AIR LID, then take a listen. Look at the last picture of the 'Myrtle Beach pictures' on the quick board. All that sound comes straight up those openings and into the helmet. With some ear plugs, it sounds pretty mean!

Everytime I revved the engine more smoke came out, kinda weird.
I thought something was loose when I heard the intake, its alot louder. And seems to vibrate the airbox cover.

Is it smoke, or steam?

After a short ride you may still be boiling residual water out of your oil, hence steam.

If it's smoke, you may have some internal ssealing issues.
