Oil burning smell after start up

[Heretic]

When I start the bike after sitting overnight I get a very quick wiff of oil burning after about 30-45 seconds. The plugs look fine and there are no indications of oil burning after that very brief period. I hate to think that it is the valve guides that are letting oil by :bang head: . Is there anything else that I should look at to see if there is a problem (clogged crankcase breather, etc). It is a 2003 with 6500 miles. If it is the guides, are there any good additives out there to band aid the problem? I have no intentions or desire to remove the heads for work.

Thanks!

Check for oil on and around the engine....and see if any is getting on your exhaust.

Also check for oil in your airbox.
