Tell us year/make/model.

Is it blue oil smoke or black gasoline smoke? Could be leaking oil past the rings or valve seals or it could be running rich and have excess gas.

Where is the smoke coming from? Is it coming out the exhaust or is it cleaning/ anti-rust chemicals burning off?

I am going to say its the valve seals, but 48hrs is low for them to leak, but that is going to be my guess.

What is the year, make and model? How much time is on the top end? Have you owned the bike since new? What is the service history?
