i hope its water in tank

Starting it once a week may be the problem. Do not start it unless you can ride it and get it up to full operating temperature for a good amount of time to burn off any condensation. Its not good on the oil and its not good on the battery or the bike itself.
If you cannot actually ride it, "winterize it". Top off the gas and add some stabil, put clean fresh oil in it and put the battery on a tender.

If it was 50 out side it was probably just condensation, same thing like the stuff that comes out of your mouth when it's colder outside. If there was water in your gas more then likely your bike would be running like crap
blowing condensation is normal. Let it get up to running temp, also don't just leave idle, The fluids will move better and the battery will be happier. At least get it around the block a few times. If not, then a friction drum and a center stand works wonders. Ok it would be a dyno with no software. not hard to make, not hard to use.
Where'd you get the motorcycle?
its just condensation caused from warm exhaust hitting cool air, no worries. Watch your car/truck this time of year, it does the same thing for quite a while.
but like everyone else said, running it and letting it warm up won't accomplish anything. It needs to be ridden. But if you don't touch it all winter, besides the battery, there shouldn't be a problem either.

A couple of things, 1 water does NOT compress.
2 the water is in the exhaust and the difference in temp.
3 why the hell you buy a bike you can't ride???????
4 go take a riding course! and for the love of god go get some gear...
how about some track days?.... id kill to have a fz6r right now... and when i get one there wont be a day that goes by my ass isnt on that seat... i may not ride it every day but it will be pretty damn close to every day!!

I'm sorry I was mistaken in my earlier post what you are experiencing is smoke coming from your muffler bearings, and the only thing that can cause your muffler bearings to get hot enough to smoke is a carburetor belt slipping, both are very costly repairs but I'd be willing to do a favor for a fellow forum member and take it off your hands for $500. I know you will be loosing money but those repairs will cost in excess of $7500
I bet leprecaun jon can fix up those muffler bearings and carburetor belts lickety split.
