Oil Burning when cold.

To get you up to speed:

On start up (mainly morning starts) its stinks like the oil is burning.
First thought was to change the oil, so I did... changed the filter too just for good measure. So again I use the bike and find that on a cold start there is a LOT of smoke and burning oil.
Oil is new, Filter is new, Choke switch is functioning correctly, Oil levels are between F and E lines.

Any ideas what may be causing it? It was embarrasing this morning when I pulled up at the bottom of the road an was caught up by a white cloud of smoke shortly after.

Compression test is easy but you need a compression tester. (I need to get myself one after mine went walkabout)

Leakdown test would also do the trick. I'll see about building another tester if you wanna pop over to Hfax?

That'd be fantastic mate cheers, it'll be a while off though.
Building this weekend and away next so when ever your free 18th onwards then I'll make the trip. PM me details
