Is it actually smoking when the motor is revving up, or when the rpm's are coming down after you revved it up?
When revving up, the first suspect is rings.
When winding down, the first suspect is valve seals.

prob. just a little unburnt fuel from low rpm caused by rejetting. have a 09dyna that does the same thing.

I wouldn't worry about it much. I can get both of my Sporties to do that.
