New exhuast plugs wires jetted carb stilll getting smoke from one pipe ,from front jug ,but bike runs excellent. any ideas
What color is the smoke? If the smoke is white, it's oil smoke. If it's fuel, it'll be black smoke.
Generally, black smoke from the exhast indicates a too rich mixture for one reason or the other. You said you rejetted the carb. This could be part of the problem. You also said that it's only out of the front pipe. If you rejet the carb, it effects both cylinders. If you have a vacuum leak on the rear cylinder, this could cause the front cylinder to run rich.
If the smoke coming from the front cylinder is white smoke, you may have a oil problem. It could be rings, a valve stem seal, or a head gasket leak. But, unless the smoke is heavy and the bike runs good, I wouldn't worry about it. If it bothers you, have a leakdown test run on the engine. That should tell you where the problem is. Or, just do a top end overhaul on the engine and be done with it. Have a new set of rings installed or have it bored and new pistons if needed. Also have a valve job done on the heads. This should solve the problem as you'll have to replace the intake gaskets when you take the intake and heads off.
Don't just keep throwing money at the problem. That gets expensive and is only successful part of the time. Anytime you have a problem with one cylinder only, whatever is wrong is confined to that cylinder. Anything that you do that effects both cylinders is usually useless. I would suspect a valve stem seal on your bike. You didn't say how many miles you have on the engine nor what type of carb you're running.
Good Luck
