    A little smoke/rich

    Took the cafe racer out tonight and put 20 miles on it. Got it up to 65mph. First time I really put any kind of miles on it since I got it running. First off, I have pods on with a 4 to 1 exhaust and a modified exhaust tip for a muffler. It is pretty free flowing. I have 110 main jets.

    It runs a little rich, which I can live with for now, but I'm wondering if down sizing the main jet to 107.5 will help remedy the rich situation, or should I adjust the fuel mixture.

    One more thing. After I took it out tonight I notice some smoke coming out the breather hose. I've seen this before on a CB550 I used to own, but it only happened in hot weather, at least I only noticed it then. It was 50 degrees tonight when the smoke was slowly coming from breather hose. Is that normal, or is that something I need to look into?

    Thanks,

    Normal for a 30 year old bike with no air box. Should have a filter on that breather hose something like this one.
