Just had my bike rebuilt, new piston, rings, valves, cam chain and tensioner. All gaskets replaced. All parts OEM except wiseco piston rings and wrist pin. 2 heat cycles were performed at the shop and I did another at home. After cooling I started it and rode 50%. I've noticed a fair amount of white smoke coming from my exhaust during the idle heat cycle and again during and after my 50% ride. It's fairly cold and wet outside so I'm wondering about that being a possible culprit.
Any ideas? Is this normal until the rings seat.

It only takes 30 mins to break in a rebuilt motor. Let it rip after that.
The engine builder should have used assembly lube on most of the top end. It could be slowly burning off.
Junk in the exhaust could be burning off too.
Ride it for an hour and monitor your oil and coolant levels. Either they go down or your bike stops smoking.
