I bought an 06 Suzuki GS500f and white smoke comes off the header after it runs for a bit. Is this something i should worry about?

Welcome to the community!

:welcome2:

I'm sure we can give some advice for you to help you out. White smoke is usually just water being turned to vapor after it's been heated (on an air-cooled bike). Was the headers wet at all? Are there any holes in the headers it is coming out from or is it just on the surface?

Hello Rodrick and welcome to the forum. I wouldn't worry too much about that, if I was you. How about posting a picture of your Suzuki so we can admire it .
