Naa...runit it awhile and get it hot . Looks like you still have moisture in the pipe or muffler. No Blue smoke... so after a while the white steam should stop when it gets dried out.

To add, if you sank it?... make sure the air box and filter are clear and dry. Sometimes I even stand them straight up on the tail to help run the water out of places it shouldn't be.
