White smoke coming from the exhaust of my motorcycle. Compression test was normal. What could it be?

I have a 2004 Yamaha R1 and there is white smoke coming from the exhaust of my motorcycle. I did a compression test to see if it was maybe a leaky head gasket or blown piston ring. The compression test results were normal. All cylinders were at about
Well, white smoke would indicate that your engine is running rich... getting too much fuel.
If it were a blown ring, you'd see blue smoke. If it were a head gasket you'd have water vapor/steam coming out of the pipes.

Big backfire, unfortunately not a sharp panning but since it's my first backfire capture on motorbikes I couldn't delete it ... and I'm happy with it, especially because it came out of a Yamaha which seems to be more rare than on Kawasaki:)
