ok whats the best way to warm them up? let them idle os rev the pis out of them to get it to stop smoking like crazy cause when i start it up and give it a couple revs and let it idle for like 3 4 mins then i go to rev it and it smokes like crazy will that foul the plugs

Nothing wrong with your bike Kawakid. Drain your fuel, put in fresh mix at 32:1, Pull your plug and put in fresh. then pull the choke out, Give it NO gas and kick it and let it idle till the rpms get low or you need to give it a blip of gas to keep it going. Shut choke off and rev it alittle and you will see the smoke get clear. Now the bike is warm and ready to ride.
If you just PUTT around on this bike it will load up and foul the plug and drip goop out of the exhaust. You need to open it up in lower gears and it will clear it up.
If not cumfy on the bike yet, then 40:1 will be okay and help. Your just not running the bike hot enough to burn the oil rich mix. And like i said, NEW plug when changing mix or any other change. That way you can refer to the plug and see whats going on. Try this and i bet you will be okay. Dont ride over you head just to keep the bike running good! We can always adjust the bike. Let us know.

It COULD, it would mix with the carben build up. Keep in mind that some driping is normal. Running at 30:1 and not really getting on it, Your muffler is probley soaked.
