I'm asking how to differentiate between head gasket and water pump seal… I already know there's a leak. If you read the previous comments, you'd know I just changed the oil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But it doesn't look burnt... there was a lot of smoke. Doesn't seem likely. Maybe though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah the smoke seemed to be coming from lower side of cat. Im about to take the fairings off to see what I can find

Thanks guys! Is there a way to differentiate between blown head gasket vs water pump seals? As far as the smoke goes, I havent lubed chain. I will check into the fairing touching but I dont believe so. It was a rubber smell. Perhaps the rubber mount for the bolt holding the cat??

Anyone? I'm likely going to order water pump seals. Anyone have a part number(s)? It's not the water pump cover seal, is it?

Just to clarify: the smoke wasnt coming from the exhaust.

After letting it cool at gas station, I rode home. Zero smoke. Less smell.

So today while riding, I noticed a weird smell. (smells like rubber to me) Then I went riding about an hour later. 30 min into ride, I stopped at a gas station. A good bit of smoke was coming from down by the cat... Another thing is: I change my oil yesterday (No, the smoke is NOT oil burning)...
