does the idle go down once it warms up?check for air leaks around carb boots to make sure you dont have a vacuam leak that could be causing your high idle problems also check your throttle linkage to make sure its releasing all the way once you get that sorted out you can work on the smoking problem.as far as the smoking id say pull your plugs out to see what they look like if they are black and nasty try some new plugs to see if that helps also check your air filter to make sure its not plugged up that can cause a rich condition if its not letting air in .im not a carbonater guru so ill let them jump in with their techno advice!

Now. Definitely now. Definitively now, before Florida and Oregon tip off in the Nairobi Handball Final Four tipoff.

That way, I can watch your head explode AND catch the game. :evil:

Call Vegas, and ask 'em what the odds are your valve guides/seals are seeping a bit, collected some oil in the exhaust side, and once you fired up the motor it made a pretty fair example of an airshow smoke rig.

Since you're not allowed out of the driveway anyhow, pull it outside, make suire the oil level is okay, and rid the neighboorhood of gnats for half an hour or so.

Run it awhile, it's more than likely fine, but moderately tired - sooner or later, it's a top end job in the crystal ball, but not necessarily next week.

Seems odd that it should be tired...5000kms? But, the guy I bought it from was a wheeler deeler...

Really doesn't need to be tired *miles-wise* as much as *time-wise*. Remember, that bike is old enough that you *could* have wound up a spot on it's seat cover...

Whatever synthetic rubber compound the seals are made of hardens over time. As the better part of South El-Lay has found out to it's everlasting dismay, hard rubber don't seal too good.

So, it's nobody's fault - it's just an age thing.

At least, that's what IK keep telling myself. :whistle:
