White smoke

I'm putting my bike all back together,
I'll soon post pics of it now with black frame, I also polished and painted the swingarm.

Yestarday when I removed my carb to change jetting ( after the engine warmup ) I noticed a small shot of white smoke getting out of the cylinder, just enough to see it, I also noticed the same "white smoke" out of the silencer after I stop the bike...

I searched the forum about coolant leaking from the head/cylinder, but the exhaust smoke is as "blue" as normal, and smell like good 2stroke smoke, the plug smell also good no coolant there...

The plug had a white circle around the "tip", that's why I changed the jetting..
is running too lean can make this kind of smoke or is everythings ok ???

Thank you!

not sure what you mean by tip, so (re)read the jetting guide.
smoke could be exhaust leftover in the expansion chamber maybe?

Thanks for your answer scheckaet, Yes I alerady read and re-re-re-read the jetting guide, by tip I mean the center electrode of the spark plug.

The exhaust leftover may be the reason why I see this.
