I'm going to assume yes, since there was a fire, there will almost definetly be smoke.

well thats what I thought. "A little bit of unburned oil on the inside walls of the exhaust". I just wanted to make sure that some thing wasnt starting to go wrong.

White smoke ain't so good.... I always see a monster cloud of black smoke after flames. Usually confuses the driver behind me.

Black Smoke because of too much fuel...which is the cause of backfiring...you should NOT get white smoke.

you should be seeing black smoke if anything after flames which is b/c you are running to rich. And that is the reason why you blow flames in the first place...b/c you're rich at that point.

White/blue smoke is burning oil. I'd have it checked out and good luck.

Just watch out for metal chips flying out of your exhaust from your turbo's compressor wheel... *grins* Yea white and smelling like a dirt bike isn't good.
