If it persists after the bike has warmed up you could have a bad right crank seal sucking oil from the transmission, what color is the smoke? If it is white you could also have a head gasket leaking coolant into that cylinder. Some other things to check are carb sync (one side will run richer if the slide is raised further) and check that your float isn't sticking (if you have a stuck float and leave the fuel on when parked it can leak fuel into your crankcase causing a rich condition on startup).

Had the same problem last year...one of our fine Banshee-HQ'ers came up with some simple advice that fixed the problem and didn't cost anything...clean the carbs. Start there...it'll probably work...I hope.

Very good place to start. Make sure they are synced properly when you put the caps back on as well.
