Climbing idle once warm

@5twins I will go ahead and continue to monitor the issue. I'd like to believe that its being caused over the many years the bike has sat not turned on. I'm going to try and get some longer rides in and notice if the smoke dissipates or continues or worsens all together. @thuban I should be getting a compression gauge soon and will test ASAP.

A valve adjustment is definitely needed regardless. Properly syncing my carbs as well.

( How much whiskey have I had?) 83 don't gots no points to set.)
 
Don't swat at symptoms. Adjust cam chain tension, adjust valve lash, check that automatic vacuum petcocks are shutting off and aren't automatically filling your crankcase up with fuel, sniff oil and change it if it smells of gas, install nonresistor plug caps with your iridium resistor plugs, check for vacuum leaks at throttle shaft ends, joints between carb boots and head, carb boots and carbs, carbs and air box, and check compression. Do. It. All. Then synch carbs. One more time: Don't mess with jetting until you've done everything else first.
