Puffs of smoke sometimes when starting and revving to high rpm?

[94ZZR1100]

Last night my bike fell down I caught it and held it up for few mins while my girl friend came out to help me pick it all the way up ( Oh the same she is 5ft ). When I started it today I cloud of rich smelling smoking came out...

When I rev it hard smallish puffs of smoke come out sometimes. Is this a normal? Carburetor need fixing? Just flooded?

was it over more than 45 degree angle, if it was the oil from the breather separator in the air box may have run in to the main part of the air box. either take the top of the air box off to check or just run it if there are no other running issues and it should stop after a few trips. If the smoke doesn't stop you may have upset a bit of dirt in the fuel system and one carb may be flooding slightly. If the smoke persists look further.

you need to rev it harder for longer especially when its cold

I thought you posted yesterday (you did post yesterday, didn't you?) that you thought the ZZR1100 wasn't a heavy bike? :facepalm:

probably pay to check your muffler bearings too.
Dont forget the hi viz fireproof jacket. Mufflers get hot.

Think you're being funny, but its a 90s Kawi & they have a hair trigger choke that ensures that happens anyway.
