I just changed the oil in my '04 ltz 400 and put too much in. After fireing the engine i noticed it was smoking when you hit the throttle, and when you let off. I pumped out the excess oil and the problem still was there. I think it is the valve stem oil seal, but im not sure. It does run great though.

run it for a little longer, there may still be oil trapt somewhere, and if that doesnt work its most likely your valve guide seals. (they wont affect they performance, you just burn a little oil here and there)
