I have a 2005 Yamaha 225 4 stroke and I have noticed a puff of smoke right after start, but not on first start of day. Usually happens ( or when I see it happen) later in the day after 4th or 5th start up to move to different location. I don't see this as a huge problem, is this normal has any body else seen this. Motor runs great. No oil consumption.
 
So are you saying this is not uncommon for this motor. and by 10/15 degrees up is this keeping oil from migrating to the lower cylinder/valves?
