I just ran my bike for about five minutes and realized the a corn nut from the cam chain tensioner wasn't put back on. I could hear some rattling so I came back home. The engine was smoking a little and there was some discharge from the lack of nut. I also just started running pod filters but haven't got a breather filter but the hose is still there. I figured a short ride with no filter wouldn't hurt it too much. What ya think? Will she live??

Oh my! That is the worst thing you can do to one of these.
On second thought if you leave the nut off some oil will leak out but as long as the oil didn't get extra low for a long time there's no problem. But put the nut back on.

smoke from the exhaust or smoke from the oil burning off the cases from said discharge (?)
