my buddies 400ex did the same thing.i just got done installing 440,stage 2 hotcam,mild port job,valve seals,new valves,and regrind seats in the head.i think his cyclinder was out of round causing the smoke and the burning oil.he went threw about 1 1/2 quarts in about 1 1/2 hours.it was also hard to start.now it fires right up:D
