    I resurected a 49 state maxim x a few weeks ago and didn't feel like cleaning the carbs, so I took a set off a bike from ca that were clean (or so I thought, missed something) and put them on her. She fired right up but blows smoke out her arss...it's not black, it isn't white it isn't grey smoke, it's almost like brown smoke. And it isn't overwhelmingly bad. Maybe from sitting so long? She hadn't been started in years.

    The bike has only been run say 40 mins in several years and I am wondering if there is some schputz in the exhaust and maybe I should just let her run (after I rotate back to the US) or is it possibly something with the CA carbs that are on it? The smoke is out both pipes and I have seen something similar to this before, just with less consistency.

    Let me know what you think, and someone go for a ride for me would ya!

    The only thing different that I'm aware of is the hose barb on the #2 carb that hooks to the emissions canister, although when HAP saw it, he proclaimed it a new variant he hadn't seen before. Go fig.

    when I got mine there was a rattle in the right muffler I took it off and found a bunch of dog food in there!!!. Jetting might have been a tad different but there shouldn't be anything that would make it smoke.
