Mark,
My 02 XT-E does the same thing if I overfill the oil - I assume it's getting into the breather pipes/air filter region and being sucked in with the fuel. Once the oil's at the correct level then no smoke! XT's seem to be complete sods as regards to the oil level, there are a number of posts regards properly maintaining it but I haven't found one that is at all reliable...
The 'steam' not smoke from the std exhaust is standard stuff - such a massive silencer obviously lets a lot of water condense out.
Cheers
Bish
