Take 2 'adjust valves' and 'adjust idle speed' and call us in the morning.

Wink

white smoke maybe just a true back fire (w/out fire) due to low idle speed setting.
or it maybe a bad valve adjustment.
I've seen both.

I think you better get eyes on the cam chain. Pronto.
Stop trying to figure out the way it runs until you know what the cam is doing.

JOG's right,  I wouldn't be even starting the bike before checking the cam chain/ tensioner.
