    Been running my vts and when i first start it up and let it stand on the drive and wait for it to get warm, there is a puddle of water from a crack/rust hole in the back box, and there is alot of white smoke and water from my back box?

    Is this normal for these engines or isit looking like my heads gone? Maybe just panicing but dont want to waste my money

    quite alot.. more when revving obv, but this goes when the engine is warmed.

    So alot of water is normal?

    water is normal not a lot tho, you might want to check inside your rocker cover incase youve blown your head gasket. take the oil cap off and look at the condition of the oil inside.

    i always seem to get alot of water in my exhaust coming out. to be fair i think it's from the rain on mine though as the tip fills up as well

    yep if head gasket has gone u will see a milky residue but yeah water is common but not alot due to condensation
