i bought with bike a few months back and have only taken it out one time but noticed it smokes real bad at first but then quits smoking after about 15 to 30 minutes, i know the guy that bought it put in a jet kit but still has the original exhaust. if you jam down on the throttle off the jump it bogs down and tries to stall, i figured all this was connected to the jet kit, does anybody have any info that could help me, and where can i get the original jets.

If a Jet Kit has been added without any modifications to the exhaust or the intake, it might just be jetted incorrectly. You can still install a jet kit without any mods, BUT, it gives you no benefit. Since someone has played with it for no reason though, it might not have been correct.
Check the spark for color. It should be tan brown. If it black, then it is running rich. If it is white, then you are running lean.
Running rich could be the reason for the smoke. Which leads to the other question.......
What color smoke is the engine producing? Blue, Black or White?

if its blue smoke then its using oil .let it idle for 5min the rev it up quick bursts of the accelarator to full revs .dont hold it on full revs just on and of.

if a heap of blue smoke comes out its ither the rings or valve stem seals.
sorry for the bad news.
also check the oil level after a days riding .

well i took it out of the shed today to play with it and let it run for a few minutes and the smoke clears up, and it's white not blue. it is snorkled and the spark arrestor is removed but still bogs down real bad when i get on the gas. like i said i know it has been jetted, i guess the question is should i go to the yamaha shop and get the original jets or what do ya'll think, i don't wanna go out on my next outing looking like i am fogging skeeters

Best place to get jets is jetsrus dot com ... 105 is the factory main jet size.
