My 2000 with just under 10,000 miles makes a poot from the front of the engine when I start. The head gasket appears to have developed a leak. It is a very unusual sound. It has been doing it for a while, I just ignored it. Last Friday when leaving work. I noticed a small puff of smoke accompanied the sound from the front of the engine. It took what seemed like a dozen restarts to figure out where it was coming from. That could be the prob. but I would doubt it on such a new bike.
