How many decades has it been sitting out behind some shed?Comment

re
Ive been riding it for 4 months and the first its been doing this. It smokes under moderate to heavy throttle only. Its never been sitting. Always been running.Comment

re
Also pretty sure its not piston rings. Too much power and to smooth running. No tools for compression check.Comment

You can have weak rings and still have good power and smooth running.
It has been my experience that, if an engine smokes under "moderate to heavy throttle", the oil is getting past the rings.
If it smokes while decelerating or at idle (high vacuum situations), it's more likely to be valve seals.

What Steve posted is typically correct. Check your jetting too.Comment

When the carb butterflies are closed the engine will pull oil through old valve stem seals. If it smokes with accel then more than likely it's rings.
Or too rich as stated.
Are the spark plugs shiny black or flat black?Comment
-
re plugs
Flat black. Seems to be some metal build up on them as well. only cylinder #1Comment

re
anything that might cause over heating of the engine? other than the obvious? oil flow is good. pods with 120 mains. Bad plugs?Comment

Blue smoke is oil burning, white smoke is condensation burning off from the exhaust.
A wise man told me that for every gallon of gas burnt there is a gallon of water run through the engine and out the pipe.Comment

White smoke is also typically unburnt fuel, what is your oil level? is there gas in your oil?Comment

Sounds like youve worn a "bevel" in your piston ring(s)Comment
