Smoke on the exhaust pipe.

Recently I saw very little smoke at the end of exhaust. When I rubbed the finger on it it is not very think or dark but certainly black. Cannot figure out the reason? Bike is running ok and I dont see any smoke while idle or driving.

Any idea? Thanks

The longer you ride, the more that black stuff will accumulate at the end of the tailpipe.
It's normal. Some engines leave more; some less. Check your other vehicles and you will probably find the same thing.........to some degree.
