I would go back to this before deciding to play with carbs. Blue = Oil, Grey/White =Rich mixture which, looking at your plugs, I would say is not your problem.
I am not sure if leaking oils seal will show on a compression test? The blue smoke on over run is usually due to the increased vacuum when the throttle is shut off sucking oil passed leaky seals on the inlet side.
Good point zedhead -
The problem is - The exhaust is at the back & I canna see what colour it is
I am relying on my mates eyes on this one-
The thing is - its not as though when I come to a complete stop I am engulfed in a cloud of smoke
It runs pretty well at the moment, so I am just gonna run it - probably stick in the 130 mains as Paul advises.
AND NOT TO GIVE ME CARBS TO Z1Par

Puddin,
Could you get a flexy pipe routed up to the handlebars.
Then you could see the colour and density of the smoke without your buddy.
Makes total sense to me??

Or you could get you mate to film it on his phone then post the video on here for us all to judge. I am sure the nice policeman would understand once you explain
I hope your mate is not following on a zed? That is just wrong
