IDLING FOR 10 MINUTES?? THAT'S A LONG TIME TO LET AN AIR COOLED ENGINE RUN WITH NO FLOW OF AIR TO COOL IT. IT'S PROBABLY PULLING SOME OIL IN PAST THE VALVE STEMS AND RINGS DUE TO THE HEAT EXPANDING EVERYTHING. I'M ASSUMING (BAD WORD) THAT THE SMOKE IS BLUE, IF IT'S BLACK IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THE AIR SCREW IS TOO FAR IN. TURN IT IN UNTIL IT SEATS LIGHTLY, THEN BACK IT OUT 11/2 TURNS. FROM THERE, ADJUST THE IT UNTIL THE IDLE IS AT ITS SMOOTHEST. START WITH THE ENGINE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPS, LIKE JUST AFTER A RIDE, AND PUT A FAN IN FRONT OF THE BIKE TO PROVIDE SOME COOLING AIR.
AS DENNIS MILLER SAYS: "OF COURSE, THAT'S JUST MY OPINI0N....I COULD BE WRONG!! JIM
