    help with 03 400ex smoke...

    Recently bought an 2003 400ex with a 440 kit in it. Quad is very strong & runs great. But it smokes (white) on startup , then eventually just full throttle. After a little more time it fully goes away...is this valve seals?

    Valve seals would smoke on start up, then go away. Bad topend will smoke almost all the time and be grayish white. Black smoke is too rich.
