White smoke from top right pipe?

[NorthwestFire629]

So my bike was running a little rough this season, so I pulled the tank and replaced the air filter. I also bought plugs, but I started the bike to make sure I got all the connections right. Now I've got a moderate amount of white smoke coming only from the top right tail pipe. What would cause this? Is it possible debris got down in the carb?

I had this issue after I adjusted my floats and it turned out I had messed one up.

That cylinder is running rich.

How can I fix this? I didn't adjust anything on the carbs, and it never happened before

[wrnchjox]

are you using any coolant,white smoke usually is a sign of coolant burning in a cylinder

And it doesn't take much to make a bunch of smoke.

I run a 96 royal star, so it is liquid cooled. I replaced the plugs after posting that and it doesn't appear to be smoking anymore. So perhaps the plug was fouled and wasn't firing. I also had to take the radiator cap/bracket off to open the air box, so perhaps a drop of antifreeze wound up in the cylinder? Whatever the cause, it seems to be resolved now.
