so i had to have some work done on my quad because i changed fuels and it started running like crap. i got that straightend out and i had a powercommander on it but i had that taken off and a cherry bomb put on. turned out if was my fuel system, i need a fuel filter and what not. but i was riding it yesterday on the road and i had it almost wide open for maybe four or five seconds, and when i let off the gas it started loosing a little power but only for a minute. then i looked back and there was smoke everywhere. it scared the crap out of me. it quit smoking right then and hasnt done it since but im concerned about it. any ideas???

It's fuel-injected :p

What color was this smoke? If it was Black smoke it was probably carbon or rich jetting...white smoke is water, blue-ish purple smoke is oil burning.
